Sustainability at Hayhurst = $$$ to the School

Small amount of trash generated from the lunch program for the entire school

Did you know you can bring in your used granola bar wrappers and we get money? Did you know that Hayhurst throws away only one bag of trash on average per meal after serving over 300 kids?

The incredibly low cost of oil has not encouraged growth in the recycling market. Hayhurst is one of five schools rinsing and recycling milk cartons for curbside recycling.  Those cartons and aseptic drink boxes travel to Asia to become toilet paper, all the plastic we recycle eventually returns to China. Consider recycled products when heading to the checkout aisle, which in turn creates demand.
