The Compost Arena has been growing exponentially, going from two tumblers to ten in just six years, in addition to moving to a new location in 2023. Currently, the compost arena has enough room to process a majority of compostable food scraps from the kitchen and the plates of students and faculty. Running at full capacity, the system saves 1000 lbs of food waste per month from the landfill and provides a source of sustainable fertilizer for the school’s Garden. The system continues to run thanks to the efforts of many students, faculty, staff, and kitchen volunteers, organized through the Garden Club and with the collaboration of the Environmental Club. Most of these dedicated community members are in the photo below, which was taken in front of the compost arena.
