Who we are

UW Campus Compost (UWCC) is a student-run club that collects organic materials from across campus through our composting program and processes it into compost for the community. We also advocate for waste reduction and other sustainable practices through social media, workshops, and volunteer events.

Why did we start?
UW Campus Compost was established in 2014 to bring compost bins to campus back when the University did not have an organic waste collection system. Before its establishment, much of the groundwork started in 2012 under the "University of Waterloo Compost Coalition", lead by a team of Environment students. Since then, the University has started its own organic waste program which makes organics disposal even more convenient on campus. While we still conduct our compost operations, we have expanded our mission to include advocacy around sustainability through campaigns and events.
