Post Waste Assessment for Planeteers (Step 4)

May 27 2016

The quantitative values from the data collected over the year are detailed in this report.

Summary

The Planeteers Club removed many pounds of waste from the landfill by sending certain items to TerraCycle.

 

We collected 60 lbs. of drink pouches, 90 lbs. of snack bags, 3 lbs. of energy bar wrappers, 6 lbs. of oral care products, 4 lbs. of tape products, and 20 lbs. of writing implements for TerraCycle this school year. Less waste was generated by removing compostables from the landfill containers. However, there is plenty more to compost and we are working on a new system for next school year. The Planeteers Club was a success and will continue to help keep our school green in the future years!
