Working Toward Zero Waste

We proudly support the sustainability goals of Fairfield University. Here are a few active initiatives:

Robust Recycling
We recycle cardboard, metal, paper, glass, and accepted plastic products, and we recycle uncommon items—such as batteries and printer cartridges— wherever possible.
Collaborative Composting
We work with Blue Earth to collect organic materials— including food waste and compostable service items such as napkins and wooden stir sticks—to be composted into usable, nutrient-rich soil amendments.
Proactive Prevention
We use tracking and forecasting tools to proactively identify food waste trends in order to alter our preparation accordingly.
