School Lunch Composting Program Initiative Form

Transform Your School Cafeteria into a Sustainability Success Story

Launching a school lunch composting program is one of the most impactful sustainability initiatives your school can undertake—but it requires careful planning, staff coordination, and student buy-in. This School Lunch Composting Program Initiative Form gives you a structured framework to assess your needs, design effective tray scraping stations, plan educational curricula, and address practical concerns like odor control before you roll out your program.

Whether you're a K-12 administrator, sustainability coordinator, or cafeteria manager, this template walks you through everything from measuring current waste volumes to mapping out student education and identifying the right composting partner. You can customize questions to match your school's unique setup, add conditional logic to show relevant follow-up questions, and use Paperform's calculation fields to estimate waste diversion rates or cost savings.
