Wayland Town Crier 7/1/11: Green Team conducts trash audit at Claypit Hill School. On June 14, the second-graders at Claypit Hill School filed into the lunchroom expecting something different. Their teachers had prepared them for an unusual approach, just that day, to trash. That one lunch session, out of five at the school, was to conduct an experiment – an audit of what gets trashed and recycled. The effort was led by the Wayland Green Team under the direction of Molly Faulkner. This waste audit was only one step in an ambitious Green Team project called Composting and School Gardens. The goal is to compost, on site, all organic waste from lunchrooms, kitchens and snacks at all Wayland schools. Gone were the usual bins – the spill bucket for milk, the recycling bin for milk cartons, and the bin for everything else, from plastic knives to food leftovers to the polystyrene trays that the lunches are served on. Just for that day, they were replaced with two line-ups of four labeled bins, each manned by two Green Team members.
