Composting food scraps is really important - particularly to us at Howick Primary as we use the compost we make to grow more veggies for our Garden to Table programme!
Composting is also a great way to reduce waste going to landfill and reduce poisonous methane gas release.
Our Enviro art team have done a fantastic job of decorating our blue compost bins to make it clear to everyone what can go in these bins. These go outside classrooms for morning tea and lunch food waste.
We have 3 different systems set up meaning we can compost MORE food waste and in different ways:
- Worm Farms,
- Layered compost system (takes ALL fruit and veggie scraps and other grains),
- Bokashi bins (which can take meat and small bones).
