The students and staff will begin bringing home food scraps and juice box or yogurt recycling containers to be disposed. The purpose is to reduce the amount of compost, recycling and garbage that the school manages on a daily basis. The process of recycling and composting at a large school has been challenging. This will help maintain a cleaner learning environment and help shift families to using reusable food and drink containers.

 Food scraps or left overs.

 Wrappers

 Empty juice box and disposable containers (ie. Yogurt containers)

 Uneaten District Lunch (Paper Bag Lunches)
