Education Educational Activities Lunchroom Waste Audit
Purpose: We all generate solid waste, but seldom visualize the magnitude of it.
Subjects: Science, Math, Social Studies & Health
Objective: Students will complete a research project to measure the amount of the garbage collected in one day and classify the contents of it.
Materials: A “form” for each group to record findings; a scale to measure pounds; rubber gloves; large sheet of plastic per group; garbage - either from lunchroom or entire school.
SWANCC offers several options to be informed of upcoming collection events and information for educators, organizations and businesses.
Contact SWANCC with your recycling and
waste reduction questions.
