We Compost is Auckland‘s leading compost collection service, and it is now being trialed at Kristin School.
This could streamline waste reduction efforts since compostable items make up 38% of our school’s waste according to the 2019 student waste audit.
You can find these bins near the wellness center and at your favorite school events. Here is a guide on how you can use the bins properly:
Yes:
Fruits & vegetables
Plants & flowers

Meat, fish & dairy

We hope to continue to expand the use of We Compost bins in the school, to help meet our yearly target of 10% waste reduction. Please use the bins and let us know what you think :)
