Your ACC takeout containers, cups, and other dining materials are now a little easier on the planet.
The ACC Cafes at Eastview, Rio Grande, and Riverside now use 100% compostable materials. It’s all part of ACC’s ongoing effort to reduce waste and reach its goal of becoming a Zero Waste institution by 2040.
When you dine at ACC Cafes, look for the green compost bins and take a moment to sort your waste into the right bin. As an extra bonus: if you bring your own mug, you can save 50¢ on your beverage order.
Not sure what goes where? ACC uses a three-color-coded system to help keep materials out of the landfill. If you’re unsure where something belongs, use the Sort Things Out Tool to find out what goes where.
