Materials & Methods
Highfields’ role in this project was to provide educational materials and trainings, as well as compost technical advice and food scrap collection materials. Specifically, HCC provided 32 gallon totes to accommodate all food scrap generators, an electric power washer to clean the totes, a composting thermometer and guard, 8 pounds of California Red Wigglers (Eisena fetida) as a starter population, soil saver worm bins, and educational and promotional materials to use with food scrap generators. Highfields also provided compost recipe development, compost systems management support, and training in servicing and educating food scrap generators. For schools, Highfields provided direct trainings for all students, using our new school training curriculum and video.
