Reducing waste in schools
As recently reported in The New York Times, trash cans are overflowing in school cafeterias all over the country, a challenge being tackled by a growing number of Southern Maine schools. In an effort to maximize trash reduction, Yarmouth School District joins South Portland, Scarborough, Old Orchard Beach and Falmouth School Districts, in minimizing waste by up to 90% by recycling and composting food scraps in school cafeterias with implementation and educational support from Garbage to Garden.
