Many of the composters offer a program where the university may purchase the compost back for grounds maintenance or on-campus gardens. There are on-site digesters on the market that some operations seem happy with for their food waste - be sure to understand the integrity of the end product.

As we are discovering in the Sustainability movement, we must have some basic 'economies of scale' in order to implement commercial composting. I hope that your sustainability model continues to challenge the status quo and serve as an inspiration for others to follow suit! Keep up the fantastic work that all of you are doing!
