Important Composting Announcement:
The dishwashing machine in Robro is currently under repairs. Because of this, meals are being served on paper plates with plastic silverware. The good news is that these paper plates ARE compostable. Please put them in the green compost bucket along with your napkins and other food waste. The plastic utensils ARE NOT compostable. Please put them in the landfill bin to prevent them from contaminating the compost and getting on a farmers field.
Pro sustainability tip: Carrying a set of utensils in your bag is a great way to reduce single use plastic and always have silverware when you need it!
If you have any questions please contact our food waste interns in the Institute for a Sustainable Environment, Celia Darling (darlincr@clarkson.edu) or Nick Clearman (clearmnp@clarkson.edu). Thanks so much for your cooperation and the amazing Sodexeo staff for making our world a little cleaner by composting!
