Waste Free Schools Program

The Waste Free Schools Program for Santa Cruz County is an innovative, collaborative, award-winning program which assists Santa Cruz County schools in institutionalizing on-campus recycling, composting and reducing / reusing programs while instilling in the students and school staff a sense of environmental stewardship.

The program is a collaboration of Ecology Action, Life Lab Science Program and the Santa Cruz County Office of Education.

Teacher leaders from school sites work with teachers, students and community members to implement recycling and composting projects that reduce the overall waste stream while providing academic opportunities that connect environmental education with the academic core curriculum.
