Composting Program

Make the switch! Schools are closing the loop by building onsite compost systems instead of having food scraps hauled away. This is a major educational tool and resource for student gardens!

Waste Audits

Ever wondered how well your school is sorting trash, compost, and recycling? Want to minimize waste and provide a valuable education tool to students? Participate in a waste stream audit to find out what is really ending up in your dumpster.

Additional Recycling

Paint, batteries, lightbulbs, and electronics are banned from the landfill. Let us help you recycle these tough items and more.

Technical Support

From Green Team support to providing recycling bins and sorting station signage, School Zero waste Coordinators are here to help with any waste reduction initiative you can imagine.
