Eight more schools joined the LPS Compost Program for the start of the school year: Brownell, Eastridge, Huntington, Meadow Lane, Pershing, and Pyrtle elementary schools, and Lux and Mickle middle schools. This brings total participating schools up to 49 and over 31,000 students and staff engaging in the program every day. Through this program over 440 tons of cafeteria waste and other organic material was diverted from the landfill during the 2017-18 school year.
