For schools recycling food through the Curbside Composting program and schools with regular recycling service, GrowNYC's Zero Waste Schools (ZWS) has resources and tools to set up or improve your cafeteria recycling program. Presentations, Student, Faculty and Staff Handouts, Set-Up Guides and signage help make sorting easier for students and recycling areas more efficient.
