We’re creating and nurturing a community of students that embraces these values and practices and carries them forward
Since we began full compost and recycling in 2016, lunchtime generates less than one bag of trash each day …
… instead of the six to eight 55-gallon bags of trash we had every day previously
WOW!
We are leading Harrington toward zero waste events in all school-related activities by using compostable or recyclable products, and striving toward eliminating single-use items when possible
We use this zero waste station at all school events. You can volunteer to help us at events! Signup: http://tinyurl.com/y7c7p7vmz
The grade that does the best lunchtime recycling and composting each month is (symbolically) awarded this nifty Tidy Tray!
Whitsons, LPS food vendor, now supplies the following compostable items at lunchtime:
spoons
forks
"bento" style containers for yogurt parfaits
Thank you, Whitsons!
5th grade volunteers (2020), who started the volunteering trend several years ago. You guys are awesome, and great role models for the younger grades!
