What services are currently available? 

• Food Waste bins 
• Food Waste Training for staff administrators and students

What is a Food Scraps Disposal Program, and when will it be implemented? 

In efforts to divert waste from the landfills, a specialized rubbish disposal container will be used by sites to toss all food scraps. These food scraps are collected by our rubbish providers and taken to special facilities to process and divert the material from the landfills. 

Implementation: December 2023 (Updated)

While the District is still in the process of rolling out training programs for Plant Managers’ and Food Service Workers’, if your site has received a green waste bin and would like to get a jump start on the implementation of food waste programs, you can submit a request using one of the following systems: 

• Plant Managers 
  • Submit a request using the Plant Manager's Kiosk
• Site Administrators
  • Submit a request using the M&O Online Service Request
• Non-School Site Personnel

What is a Food Recovery Program and when will it be implemented? 

A food recovery program collects edible food that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to feed people in need. The District will be working to create partnerships throughout our communities to develop a network that diverts as much food as possible from reaching our landfills. 

Implementation: Late 2023
