Second Waste Audit Results

On April 20th, we conducted our second waste audit of the year. To do this, we collected 24 hours of garbage and recycling and did a visual audit using clear bags and visual estimation. We also weighed the garbage and recorded all of our findings. All together we had 7 bags of garbage with a total mass of 1.7 kg and 3 bags of recycling with a total mass of 9.3 kg.

In February 36.5% of our garbage was actual garbage, in April that number has increased to 84%! In addition, our recycling was 99.1% recyclable paper and plastics! Back in February, each student was generating 7 kg of garbage per year, now, thanks to everyone’s hard work, we are now generating .94 kg per student per year.
That is a 744% improvement! WOW!!!
Congratulations! Together we are making a real difference by reducing our waste!
