Composting and Recycling

Peacham Elementary School’s Compost-to-Farm Initiative is the first of its kind in the state.  In collaboration with a local farmer, North East Kingdom Waste Services, and the Association of Vermont Recyclers, our students and staff compost all food and compostable material to benefit a local farm and to reduce the waste that would otherwise go to our landfill.

Additionally we collect and recycle paper, metal, plastic, and glass on a weekly basis.  These composting and recycling programs encourage students and staff to tread lightly on the earth, care for our environment, and help to foster a sense of responsibility for the stewardship of the land.
