University of Waterloo Campus Compost

University of Waterloo Campus Compost We are a student-run campus-based organization set out to improve waste management at UW. The pilot was proven successful and garnered campus-wide support.

University of Waterloo Campus Compost (UWCC) strives to improve the sustainability on campus and bring a new meaning to our daily organic waste. We intend to establish a standardized composting program across the University that diverts waste from landfills and provides nutrient rich, campus processed compost back to the community. Our pilot project, started May 20, 2014, was initially implemented

in the Environment faculty buildings. We have since expanded into Arts and Engineering buildings as well as library staff lounges, and we are always aiming to solidify and enhance our composting operations to serve the university better. Like us! Join our mailing list! Stay classy.

Would you p*e on compost? 🚽
• Urine is high in nitrogen and phosphorus, making it a good fertilizer! 🌿
• In some composting systems, urine can help sp*ed up decomposition and reduce smells 🌎
• Healthy compost needs the right balance between nitrogen - from food scraps (or urine), and carbon - from leaves or brown paper 🍂

Tag someone who p*es in the shower! 🚿

🌎🎨 Now Introducing… Earth & Easel! 🌱🖌️
A space where we explore sustainability through art and uncover the powerful stories behind the pieces.

Today we’re spotlighting Christi Belcourt’s artwork, Pointillism 🌼✨

While the digital images above give a glimpse, they truly don’t capture the full beauty and detail of Belcourt’s paintings. Some of her works can even be experienced in person, including at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto 🏛️

✨ Bonus: Youth aged 12–24 can currently get free annual passes to visit!

Art has the power to reconnect us with the land, culture, and the environment — and Belcourt’s work is a beautiful reminder of that 🌿
