In honor of Earth Week, members of the UB community can pick up free, nutrient-rich soil amendment from Campus Dining & Shops for use in their own flower and vegetable gardens or as a compost supplement.

The soil amendment is a blend of pre- and post-consumer food waste from UB dining locations. The mixture contains scraps from fruits, vegetables, breads and meats that have gone through CDS’ Eco-Smart^® Food Dehydrator system.

Free bags of soil amendment — you also can bring your own containers — can be picked up from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 17-21 at the Statler Commissary on the North Campus.

For more information, contact the commissary at 716-645-5369.
