The Rocket.

SMCC welcomes another new feature to the campus: The Rocket, a compost contraption that

will be put to use by horticulture and culinary students to turn food waste into compost.

According to the company website TidyPlanet.co.uk, “The Rocket Composters are designed

to recycle food wastes from catering or food service on site. By recycling these wastes on site the

need for costly collection and disposal for the waste is eliminated and a useful end product is

produced instead.”

A full-feature story that will host information about The Rocket in greater detail will

likely be featured in the next Beacon issue.
