See the benefits of reducing cafeteria waste and how other schools are doing just that in this video produced through a grant provided by the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute.
In addition to businesses in our community, schools in Onondaga County are separating their cafeteria food scraps from their trash and recyclables. In turn, OCRRA transforms them into nutrient-rich compost that is used to grow thriving plants!
On average, schools find a 50%-80% reduction in trash when they begin food scrap composting.
