Develop an educational program to reduce waste. Improve recycling practices through clear signage and classroom presentations. Serve food on reusable trays and replace disposable utensils with silverware.

Implement a food scraps collection system. Monitor the waste station during lunch and use signage to educate students and staff on organic waste disposal. Compost can either be collected or used in a school garden or on school grounds.

Reduce paper consumption. Implement double-sided printing, remove school from unwanted mailing lists, and send school newsletters electronically. Designate a Paper Free Day once a month. Reward classrooms that consistently generate a low volume of trash.
