Associated Project(s):Hi Daphne,
Have you had any discussion with Housing dining about piloting composting in their catering operations?
I believe we could encourage them to lead a pilot for that.
Thanks,
Morgan
==================
Hi Morgan,
I just spoke with Thurman today during our final iCAP ZW team meeting, and he has informed me that Dining will be moving their catering operations from Housing Food Stores to Florida Avenue Residence Hall while HFS undergoes construction. For that year, they will use FAR’s existing Grind2Energy. When they move Catering back to HFS, they intend to have a sixth Grind2Energy installed there and ready to use.
Thank you,
Daphne
