Though most schools that participate in the program send their compost to compost facilities, some have on-site composting. For over 12 years, the students at Waters Elementary have supported an on-site composting program that has both diverted waste while providing a hands-on learning opportunity. The compost diverts 1,500 pounds of food waste every year which is then fed to gardens at the school.
