Install Trommel Screen for Compost at the University of Kentucky

Abstract The proposed project is to purchase and install a trommel screen on University of Kentucky’s (UK) main campus. The equipment will improve the University’s compost operation by screening out contaminants in the finished compost, allowing the University to expand its post-consumer food waste and compostable paper towel collection while maintaining the same quality product. This will result in an increase in organic waste diversion and help towards achieving UK’s goal of becoming a zero-waste campus.
