Java's Compost

Kids + composting = real impact

Amilia from South Mountain Elementary shares how their composting program with Java’s Compost has become something the students truly love being a part of. Thanks to their hard work, the school has already diverted over 7,000 lbs of food waste from the landfill and incinerators!

And the impact doesn’t stop there — they’ll also be hosting a Compost Giveback at the school next week so families can bring home nutrient-rich compost created from the food scraps collected through the program. Full circle sustainability in action.

Parents — does your child’s school have a compost program? If not, and you’d love to see one started, reach out to us! We’d be happy to chat about how composting can work at your school and help make it happen.
