If you want to start composting in a school or early childhood facility, Compost Collective can help.
You’ll find plenty of information on their website (click on the link provided above) about what to consider when choosing the right system for your school’s needs and how to get help from experts (if you're based in Tāmaki Makaurau - Auckland).
Composting in schools helps keep food waste out of landfills, which is acknowledged as one of the best and easiest ways to combat the climate crisis. It may also help reduce rubbish disposal costs, by reducing how much your school sends to landfill.
The most important thing is to ensure that everyone in your school community – teachers, caretakers, students and whānau, are fully supportive of composting. The good news is that with composting champions on board, and a clear vision of what your school wants to achieve, composting will soon be a simple and easy part of your school’s everyday routine!
If you're not based in Tāmaki Makaurau and need support to set up composting and other zero waste solutions, then browse our Providers section for organisations and facilitators in your area, by using the Region filter.
