Campus Compost Program
The Office of Sustainability launched its first ever Off-Campus Compost Program for students living off-campus in the Colorado Springs area back in Spring 2021 with 30 off-campus households. Due to the feedback and success of the program, the OOS will continue offering a campus composting program to support students. In order to ensure success, this program will provide interested campus households with materials, training, and education on how to properly compost - supporting sustainable living off campus and on campus.
This program is intended for students living on- and off-campus.
Program Expectations
- Every member of the participating household/dorm commits to composting correctly by following the educational resources provided.
- Commitment to come onto campus regularly to dispose of compost in the identified dumpsters set by the Office of Sustainability - Sodexo will not dispose of your personal compost.
- Agree to a $10 cash deposit upon pick up of the materials (compost lid and bucket, map pdf, and waste poster pdf). The $10 cash deposit will be returned in full to the participating households at the end of the spring semester upon:
- the return of both the compost bucket and lid,
- the compost bucket and lid are empty, clean, and dry,
- the compost bucket and lid are intact,
- and are dropped off within the appropriate window for return at the Office of Sustainability
- Willingness to participate in a request for feedback to ensure the success of the program.
