UW-L Food Composting Program in the News

The UW-La Crosse post-consumer food waste composting program was featured in the February 6 issue of the La Crosse Tribune. This program was started in the Whitney Center dining hall with a $3,000 grant from the UW System’s Solid Waste Research Program, which is funded by a state tipping fee on landfilled waste.

Our thanks to Jessica Kotnour and Jeremy Gragert, UW-L students who have worked to establish this program and raise awareness about it on our campus.
