FFA members developed a curriculum for educating their community about recycling, waste reduction, composting, vermiculture and resource recovery. Â A K-12 school recycling program was begun to provide recycling bins and educational materials related to recycling to students and a school research station was created to copare home-made composting with commercial composting techniques. Â Compost generated from the school recycling program was used as fertilizer in the local community garden and the school district benefitted from the reduced waste hauling costs as a result of the recycling effort.
