Ohio University owns and operates the largest composting machine at any college or university in the nation. Composting allows us to divert a significant proportion of our organic waste stream, creating a valuable soil amendment while reducing the amount of methane gas emitted by our local landfill.

Student workers are a vital component of this project. We are not currently hiring any new students for the 2011-2012 academic year, but you are welcome to submit an application at any time which we will review on a rolling basis and keep on file until a position becomes available.
