Liquids are emptied into a bucket and eventually poured down the drain. Leftover food and any organic material is put into a compost bucket, plastic or paper that can be recycled is put into a recycle bin, and any remaining trash is put in the trash barrel. The compostable material is picked up by a local hauler for composting off-site, and finished compost will be returned to the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
