Waste Audit Volunteer

Each year, our partner schools participate in a school-wide Waste Audit. During this event, we gather all the waste generated on campus over a 24-hour period. Throughout the day, students take turns sorting the waste into three categories: landfill, compost/green waste, and recyclables. Afterward, we weigh each category and set waste reduction goals to work towards until the next audit, fostering a culture of sustainability and environmental responsibility on campus and at home.

Time Commitment: Approximately 2-8hrs
