Waste audit record sheet
Conducting a waste audit is an essential first step in reducing school waste and becoming more sustainable. By carefully tracking the types and amounts of waste your classroom or school produces, you can identify areas for improvement and develop targeted strategies to cut down on what ends up in the landfill.
Use this record sheet with your students to document the contents of your trash, recycling, and compost over a set period of time or in different locations. Pay attention to any patterns or problem areas that emerge. Then, explore ways you can reduce, reuse, and recycle more effectively. Small changes add up to make a big difference for the health of our plane
