Middining separates our organic waste for composting. By developing our own system, Middlebury College is continuing its commitment to environmental responsibility by reducing the fuel and vehicles previously needed to transport our waste to other sites. Middining has also developed facilities and purchased equipment to better manage the recycling of glass, plastic and tin from our kitchens, serveries and cash operations. Our focus on vegetarian meals has resulted in additional training of our production personnel, new recipes and menus, and a more varied selection of vegetarian items at meals. The implementation of an ID system to aid us in reducing the number of unpaid meals served, to track eating trends based on location and class schedules, to reduce waste and to more efficiently schedule employees.
Students also enjoy the convenience of charging meals for visitors and being billed later.
As an added bonus, snack bar purchases may also be charged to ID cards.
