Composting at School

This brief provides an overview of how composting can be integrated into schools. It includes composting logistics, student involvement ideas, compost activities for the classroom and garden, and links to relevant resources. Composting is a hands-on way to teach students about the science of decomposition, landfill alternatives, microorganisms, and much more. It requires only a small space and brings a school garden full circle, from seed to soil. Composting can help your school reduce its environmental impact and teach service learning to students through making a positive change for the environment, their peers, and their school. Additionally, finished compost can offer a potential fundraiser and saves the school money on compost for the school garden and trash removal services. Download Brief »
