Hello,
Our district's high school has a commercial composter. We are being consulted for effective ways to ensure that the students sort recycling/compost/landfill successfully and have not found this topic addressed in this forum yet. Have you made this work/seen this work? If you have had waste monitors, how long were they necessary?
Thank you.

I'll just add another vote in support of get the custodians/maintenance staff on board! Custodians not being on board is probably the most common barrier I hear from schools. It would be good to understand the benefits and barriers of composting from their perspective as well but I rarely get a chance to talk to them (at least so far...).
