Salvage and Reuse

We send excess working, used equipment and supplies to Terrapin Trader for sale or we recycle the equipment within our units.
Footnotes Cafe in McKeldin Library was built entirely from equipment and supplies that were repaired or modified for the space.
50% of the equipment used for expansion of the Commons Shop was reclaimed from other locations.
Equipment that has outlived its useful life and cannot be repaired is dismantled and components are recycled.
While we strive to minimize unsold leftovers, food that cannot be effectively reused and yet is safe for consumption is donated to the DC Central Kitchen for distribution to area homeless shelters.
