Waste Removal  Classroom/ Office Waste  Mix of paper and non-recyclables  Cafeteria/ Kit chen areas

Cafeterias/ Kitchen Areas  Food Waste  Non-recyclables  Recyclables  And lots and lots of air

Traditional Cafeteria Waste Disposal  Assuming disposable trays, students deposit their trays and all waste into a 40 gallon trash bin.  By volume, most of what goes out is air.  Assuming you’ re not using compactors, you’re paying for trash companies to haul air.

Mansfield IS D’s S hake and S tack  S tudents dump the contents of their trays into a waste bin  S tudents then stack their trays neatly (“ nesting” )  It’s “ j ust that easy” .  This single change could reduce your trash volume by up to 80%

S hake and S tack (+Recycling)  S tudents empty their recyclable containers (cans, water bottles, milk/ j uice cartons) into the trash or a bucket  S tudents deposit recyclables into a recycling bin  S tudent dump the remaining contents into a waste bin  S tudents then stack their trays neatly

Wylie IS D’s S tory In the fall of 2016, S tudent Nutrition Director introduced the EP A ’s Food Recovery Challenge as part of its S ustainable Materials Management Program. The challenge targets reducing “ food print” and reducing food waste in half by the year 2030. https:/ / www.epa.gov/ smm Wylie IS D enrolled in t he program by 2017.

With members of the energy management team, Wylie IS D set out to get baseline measurements out of each of its school cafeterias. Measurements were collected for liquid and solid waste. Y es… a week of dumpster diving!

What do we do now with this information?

 County of S an Diego S chools S hare Table -diverting uneaten, unopen food product to those who are in need or composting  Mansfield IS D S hake and S t ack- recycling to landfill then stacking those S tyrofoam trays

Coming soon… ..  March 2019-EP A Y ear One-return to the schools where S S S was implemented and get measurements. How much have we impacted our baseline data?  August 2019-Implement the program to the remaining Wylie IS D schools (except the two high schools)  March 2020-EP A Y ear Two-measurements at all S S S schools  August 2020-S ustaining the program; expanding it to the high schools
