Greenwich Public Schools’ community partner, Waste Free Greenwich, recently released its food scrap recycling program report for the 2023-2024 school year. They tell us that since 2023, food scrap recycling has been rolled out to six elementary school cafeterias, increasing the diversion rate from 45% to 74% on average. The program will be launched at an additional three schools this year.

A pilot of food scrap recycling, implemented at New Lebanon School from January to June 2023, achieved a diversion rate of 75% and eliminated 3,570 lbs. of organic material from the waste stream. During the 2023-24 school year, GPS Facilities, PTAC Green Schools and Waste Free Greenwich worked collaboratively to expand the program to additional elementary schools - Hamilton Avenue, Julian Curtiss, Old Greenwich, Parkway, and Riverside.
