Composting
As part of the Baltimore Comprehensive Composting Pilot in partnership with the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore,
Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Maryland – Baltimore, we are pleased to offer a community compost drop-off site
during the Govanstowne Farmer’s Market this summer! The overarching goal of the Baltimore
Comprehensive Composting Pilot is to increase Baltimore City residents’ and communities’
access to composting and food waste reduction opportunities by removing long standing educational,
social, and economic barriers.
Loyola dining diverts kitchen and café waste from the landfill. Compostable serve ware and food
waste is collected and processed into rich soil by our local commercial composting service provider
Waste Neutral.
