Resident Compost Sign-up
Sign up here to join the Campus Resident Compost Program! You will receive a free countertop compost pail and instructions on how to participate. It's simple - you and your roommates use the countertop compost pail to collect any food scraps or compostable material throughout the week. Once full, empty your compost into the green, wheeled compost bins located near your building's trash and recycling dumpsters/chutes. This program is only for residents of Creekview, Cypress, Campus Apartments and College Creek. For residents of Redwood, Sunset or the Canyon, please put any food scraps in the compost buckets in the common kitchen of your building.

I acknowledge that the RSA will contact me in the spring semester to let me know when and where to return my compost pail: *
I understand that there are some things I can do to help keep my compost pail clean and to avoid pests and odors, such as:
- put a fresh piece of newspaper (e.g., Lumberjack newspaper) at the bottom of the pail to absorb moisture, which can get composted along with the other items in the pail;
- keep the pail in the refrigerator or freezer until it's time to empty

Returning the Compost Pail at the End of the Spring Semester
The RSA will collect, clean and store the countertop compost pails over the summer, and then redistribute them to participants at the beginning of the fall semester.
I would like to receive a bag of compost made from my food scraps (depending on availability): *
