Typically 10% of municipal waste consists of food scraps. Here at Northland we've been working to change that. Since student volunteers first launched a composting program on campus in 1993, Northland College has kept tens of thousands of pounds of food waste out of the landfill. Compost is collected from the cafeteria and from bins located in all dorm kitchens and other campus buildings. The finished composted material is used in the campus garden and native landscaping efforts.
