Compost, Compost

Make an even larger impact

Composting helps reduce food scraps in the landfill and CO2. There are many ways your school can begin to introduce composting.

Tips:

• Look into municipal or city composting systems and see what requirements are needed for your school.
• Schools without clear composting guidelines can start small through classroom composting or boomerang lunches – just be sure to communicate clearly and early with parents.
• Introduce new life into the classroom by vermicomposting. Worm bins on wheels are a great way to share the responsibility between different classrooms.
• Talk with your custodial staff about compost and green bin options.
• Integrate composting as a project for your school ground greening: feed the earth with black gold.
