Page 50 June 2 014 Different kind of recycling at Arcadia public schools By Chrstina Surrano Both Hopi Elementary School and Ingleside Middle School have adopted a composting of food waste in a once monthly pilot program that began in May. Partnering with Recyled City, a local food waste composting company, Hopi and Ingleside students deposited 202 pounds of lunch discards into recycling collection bins rather than trash bags destined for the landfill. This organic matter will be turned into fertilizer to be donated to a community garden in downtown Phoenix. The process typically takes only 18 days and Recycled City is providing its services free of charge. It’s estimated that over 200 pounds of compostable material is dumped into the trash after every lunch at Hopi alone. Because of the special process used by Recycled City, all of that material, including meat, oil and dairy can be utilized. Both schools had already been sorting the other recyclable materials currently collected by city services. And students involved in Hopi’s garden program had participated in the composting of garden waste and had conducted food waste composting experiments. But this is the first school-wide composting program. Barbara Halden, biologist and school garden facilitator and educator led the partnership, and is working to extend it to Arcadia High School. It’s part of Halden’s effort to help students understand the need to replenish the nutrients being taken from the soil. Hopi principal, Lori Colling believes it to be a great addition to their recycling program and thinks the students will do well with it. Principal Colling plans to hold an assembly at the start of the next school year to ensure that students understand the process while reminding them that only food that they cannot save should be deposited in the compost bins. Second-grader Jamie Morris says that his family has a garden and currently composts at home. When asked why he thinks people should compost, Jamie said, “Because it will help the plants grow much better,” adding that he can taste the difference in the vegetables after they started composting for the garden.
