Sustainability
Gettysburg College Dining Services believes that taking care of the environment is part of our stewardship and commitment to a sustainable future. To minimize our ecological footprint we...
- Partner with the student run garden the "Painted Turtle Farm" - "Seed's to Supper." We purchase seeds for the produce grown first in the green house and then in the garden. Once harvested it is served in our dining hall, fresh, organic, local!
- We use Tork Intuition towel dispensers and Xpressnap Napkin dispensers that deliver one napkin at a time. Each minimize waste and both use 100% recycled paper. These are products from SCA Tissue North America named the second most environmentally friendly company in the world.
- Our waste cooking oil is collected and turned into bio-diesel fuel.
- Our snack bar uses "green" cups and plates made from biodegradable sugar cane starch.
- Some of our fruit and vegetables are purchased from local farms. What we cannot obtain locally is sourced to a produce house who purchase much of the product they distribute within 100 miles.
- We recycle glass, metal, plastic and cardboard in order to minimize our waste stream.
- We use a Waste Pro Pulper System in our dish room that reduces waste volume by a ration of 8 to 1, reduces water consumption by 66% and reuses 95% of that water continually during operation.
- We promote the use of washable utensils and service ware as much as possible.
- We continue to seek partnerships with suppliers that are committed to being socially responsible to environmental issues.

Instructions for Requesting Meals during Isolation for Students
Given that while you are isolating in your room or apartment you will not be able to visit the Dining Center or the Bullet Hole, Dining Services is offering the opportunity to have food delivered to your room. If you have a meal plan we ask that you call the Dining Center at ext. MENU (717-337-6368) and provide: your name, hall, room number and ID number along with your cell or phone number in case we need to contact you. This phone will be answered or messages checked during the following hours: Monday - Thursday, 7:15 AM - 7:45 PM; Friday and Saturday, 7:15 AM - 7:00 PM; and Sunday, 10:00 AM - 7:30 PM.
We ask that you identify a friend or roommate that is willing and able to pick up meals on your behalf at the front desk of the Dining Center. If it is not possible to identify a person to do this, a College staff member will deliver your meals.
Students who do not have a meal plan may purchase meals and have the charge added to your student account.
Meals will be a pre-determined menu based upon recommendations for clear liquids and/or foods best tolerated with flu-like symptoms. Three meals will be packaged together for your convenience. Dining Services will package the meals in disposable containers. We ask that you throw away all of the used containers and utensils in the disposable bag they were delivered in to prevent further spread of the flu.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with these procedures which are intended to best meet the needs of our residents.
