All students living in campus residencies are welcome to sign up for a free compost bin that they can use for the rest of the semester. These bins are small, black mesh bins that require green BPI bags for compost collection, which can be found at the front desk of each residence hall.

When the semester has concluded, students can either leave their bins in their residence halls on their desks, or they can turn them in. Contact [email protected] for more information.
