Cats' Compost

Composting at Ohio University 

Ohio University is a recognized national leader in waste reduction and has composted dining hall and catering food waste since 2011.  By opting in to receive a Cats' Compost mini-bin, you will take the next step in your zero waste journey and demonstrate that individual access to composting can have a major impact on reducing the amount of material that just gets thrown away. Certain responsibilities come with your bin. Only toss in food waste and napkins, and be sure to empty your bin regularly to maintain its cleanliness.   

Composting is the natural process of recycling organic material into new soil and nutrient rich fertilizers. The end product from your mini compost bin will be used on the sports fields, landscaping and green spaces across campus.
