Fifth Grade composting unit

Composting in the Cafeteria

Lowell West is our first school to begin sorting their food waste and compostable materials (napkins, straw wrappers) and placing them in a bin from BlackEarth to be composted rather than put in the trash. Day 1 students are instructed on how and what to sort for composting


Day 2: Students sort food waste and other compostables at their table to deposit into the Black Earth bin.
