Rocket Composter Now Operational On Campus

Ramapo College has installed a Rocket Composter, behind the Pavilion Dining Hall.  We ran it on a trial basis this past Fall, to get a feel for operations and output, and will begin composting in earnest after the Winter Break.

We have assembled a team of volunteers, who have taken responsibility for feeding and maintaining the Composter on a regular basis.  This involves feeding the vessel twice a day, with a varying mix of food waste and wood chips, cleaning the filter once a week, and cleaning the outside of the vessel periodically.

If you have an interest in becoming part of this team of Rocketeers, let me know and we will integrate you into the team.
