Waste Diversion

Since fiscal year 2015, Brandeis has seen a dramatic increase in composting in our two dining halls and across campus through the efforts of the Office of Sustainability, Sodexo and our facilities services team. 

Do you know?

• All food scraps, both in the kitchen during meal prep and plate scrapings from meals, are composted in Lower Usdan and Sherman dining halls. 
• Sherman's kosher plates are composted.
• Event and office composting are expanding throughout 2018-19. 
• As of January 2019, we are also committing to all-compostable tableware in our catering services.
