Salve Regina University is growing its list of sustainability initiatives. They are no longer letting their cafeteria waste go to waste. Sodexo Dining Services, the university’s food provider, is now colleting the food scraps instead of throwing them away. Twice a week, the scraps are collected by The Compost Plant, Rhode Island’s first full-service food scrap collection and commercial compost operation and delivered to Earth Care Farm in Charlestown. The food scraps are then processed into compost for Rhode Island farms and gardens.
