ZERO LANDFILL SCHOOL
Verified Non-Profit
$1,315
$1,315 goal
The Description
With these funds I will... initiate a schoolwide compost system that will divert a great amount of compostable organic material form the landfill. More specifically, we will be build a large six compartment compost bin for leaves and other landscaping detritus, cardboard, and other compostable items. We will also purchase a Green Johanna composting barrel, made in Sweden, that has he ability to liquify bones, meat, cheese, and dairy waste. Thirdly, we will both purchase and construct worm bins for use throughout the school. The students will design, construct, and maintain all of these systems.
Starting a schoolwide composting program is a great place to start our journey to becoming a zero landfill school. The funds received will be put into action immediately and the students will see an immediate reduction in the amount of waste heading to the landfill. Once our students tackle this problem in our high school then they will be empowered to do the same in the middle school and in the elementary school.
The large compost bin will be made out of cedar and redwood, hardware cloth, metal roofing panels, hinges, and screws. $800
Worm bins and worms $265
Green Johanna composter $250
Back Up Plan
If I do not meet my goal I will purchase...materials that will be able to fulfill the needs of one aspect of the project. The large compost bin has six separate compartments so that can be easily constructed in stages. The same holds true for the worm bins. Instead of building them all at once we can easily build them one at a time depending on the funding we receive. One great aspect of this project is the ability to divide it up into manageable pieces.
