Introducing WeCompost @ Kristin

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

• Approved compostable packaging

• Meat, fish & dairy

• Shells & bones

• Eggshells, nutshells (and their paper cartons)

• Pasta & rice

• Breads & grains

• Teabags, coffee grinds & filters

• Paper bags, towels & newspapers

• Uncoated paper plates & napkins

NO:

• Plastic wrap

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 :)
