Campus Race to Zero Waste – Food Recovery

Did you know TU’s Food Recovery Network (FRN) chapter has recovered and donated over 30,000 pounds of food since 2014? Almost 10,000 pounds were recovered in 2022 alone. If you haven’t heard, FRN works with dining locations across campus to collect food that will otherwise be disposed of and donate it to local groups who distribute the food to those in need.

Learn more about the Food Recovery Network at foodrecoverynetwork.org

Learn more about how TU diverts and recovers food at TU’s Food Recovery Network webpage and check to see if your items are compostable by using the new digital waste directory, Know Before You Throw.

Please email sustainability@towson.edu with any comments, questions, or concerns.
