Check out these attractive compostable bags we used at the school holiday bake sale. With all the extra parties and food at this time of year, the holiday season is a good time to think about composting. Food scraps, food soiled paper, coffee grounds and paper filters are just some of the things that can go in your green bin. Don't forget that all those Thanksgiving leftovers (and bones) you don't end up finishing go in the green bin! Click here for more information.
You would be surprised how many preschoolers can tell you whether something goes in the green compost bin, blue recycle bin, or black waste bin. These sorting bins can now be found in 2 of the school classrooms. Some of our handy parents assembled the Trofast storage furniture from Ikea and the 28 qt bins with stickers from Recology fit perfectly. If you have a question about which bin to use at home, just ask your child!
Thank you to all the families that helped make our first Waste-Free Wednesday a success today! Lots of reusable containers, cloth napkins, and water bottles were sighted and a lot less plastic bags, drink boxes, and cheese sticks. Our next date will be December 1st. (and don't forget Trashless Thursday tomorrow for our T, R families)
