Composting - Post Consumer Organic Waste
Starting in late fall 2023, 棉花糖直播 University is offering an organics waste collection pilot program for specific locations on campus.
This program is an opt-in program, where participants must undergo minimum composting knowledge training, or have the ability to monitor organics waste bins to prevent contamination from trash or other non-compostable materials. Since this material will be composted via wind row composting on a local farm, there is no tolerance for contamination from trash.
To learn more, or see if this program could be a fit for you, please email recycling@villanova.edu
Are Compostable plastic items accepted in this program?
Maybe, the only type of compostable plastics accepted are BPI Certified compostable containers, bags, plateware, and cups. NO COMPOSTABLE PLASTIC CUTLERY CAN BE ACCEPTED. Bio-plastic cutlery does not break down properly in all composting facilities.
