WASTE REDUCTION
KIDS ARE RECYCLING AND COMPOSTING LEADERS
More than 8,000 Davis students learn about waste reduction and composting each day at school
DavisRISE (Recycling Is Simply Elementary) is our unique, proven, recycling program that reduces waste at all school sites
Compost collection at elementary sites diverts all lunch food waste which means even greater waste reduction
ABOUT US
Founded in 2000, Davis Farm to School supports the Davis Joint Unified School District in their goals to provide farm and garden-based education, increase farm fresh foods in school meals, and reduce solid waste through recycling and composting programs.
