Ever feel bad about throwing away your banana peel or apple core? Well, St. Mary’s has a new composting program. We’ve gotten a couple of all-student and all-staff emails about this lately but today was the first day I spotted one on campus.
The compost bins can be used for:
- Fruits & Vegetables
- Egg Shells
- Coffee Grounds
- Tea Bags & Leaves
- Grains
- Bread Scraps
This may appear to be a bizarre thing to have on a college campus but since all of the townhouses & apartments on campus have kitchens it seems like a pretty smart idea to me.

Here's a map of all the compost bin locations
