ANN ARBOR, MI — On any given Sunday the morning after a University of Michigan home football game, the Big House is crawling with hundreds of volunteers. Food trays, napkins, coffee lids, soda cups, cheese cups and lids, deli wraps, popcorn bags, spoons, forks, knives, straws and food waste are all compostable. They carry mostly blue and green bags, and just a couple of black trash bags, Dunlop said. To put it in perspective, the waste generated at seven home football games per year amounts to only a fraction of a percent of UM’s overall waste, Dunlop said.
