Students in six Prince William County Public Schools (VA) changed the way they threw out cafeteria trash as part of a pilot composting program started this school year. Instead of one trash can, there are multiple barrels in classrooms and cafeterias for food scraps, milk cartons, recyclable plastics and non-recyclables. 

Scraps of food are collected and recycled after lunch every day with a goal to reduce Prince William County’s environmental impact.
