Dining @ Maryland

Outdoor Environment

  • Dining Services uses biodegradable cleaning products especially in areas (e.g. loading docks) where the products could reach the storm water system and impact water quality.
  • We have constructed containment devices to prevent cooking oils from leaking and entering streams or the storm water collection system.
  • We use “green” ware washing detergents and rinse agents.
  • Our refrigeration systems (over 1,000 systems) use more environmentally friendly HCFC refrigerants.
  • Replacement vehicles use alternate fuels which includes Compressed Natural Gas.
  • All facilities utilize an integrated pest management system to minimize the usage of chemicals.
