We're taking our long-running Davis St. Transfer Station Tour online! Watch this video to experience Stop 1 on the Tour, where the 4R’s Action League invite you to explore and protect where we live and the people and animals in our community- planet earth.
StopWaste’s Cafeteria Recycling Guide illustrates one of the best practices in setting up your cafeteria sorting station – placing the bins in an order that will encourage proper sorting.
Looking to kick off waste sorting in the cafeteria? StopWaste’s Cafeteria Sorting Station Rollout Guide provides some of the considerations and best practices to keep in mind as you build towards a successful sorting program at your school.
Due to varying plans for reopening schools and to ensure the safety of students and school staff, this quick guide provides recommendations for food distribution, waste reduction, clean up, and waste handling models. These models are designed to maintain school sustainability goals.
Before you begin the tour, please have a classroom discussion about what students know and what they want to know about the transfer station, waste, the 4Rs and more. Record on this sheet or on another piece of paper.
Before starting your adventure from Garbologist to Student Action Hero, download and make a copy of our Field Journal. Use a scratch piece of paper for your own Garbologist Field Journal.
How to Go from Scientist to Food Rescue Action Hero!
In this journal you will join four garbologists who ask questions about how garbage affects people living in Alameda County and around the world. What in the world is a garbologist? A garbologist is a scientist who studies garbage. Why study garbage? Because there is a LOT of it. And more is created every day!
