Waste Diversion & Composting

Composting is crucial in helping divert organic waste from landfills and reducing methane emissions. Definitely reserve a compost bin from Plate Club, we even provide the compost bags!! 

 

For events held on campus, here is a list of buildings with compost collection. McGill Event Support offers compost collection for events held outdoors, contact the team at special.events@mcgill.ca for the details. Additional arrangements to facilitate compost collection can often be made with building maintenance and porters.
