Green Team highlights school composting and Armory plastics project collaborations
Summary
Bay Area Recycling reported ongoing composting work with Kaleva, Norman and Dickson schools and said a summer plastics project at the Armory is planned in collaboration with the Manistee Conservation District and the Armory's Seeds Director.
The recycling report described a school-based composting and garden program involving Kaleva, Norman and Dickson (KND) schools that will use cafeteria food scraps to teach gardening and zero-waste practices. The packet described the initiative as "ongoing" and framed it as both an educational opportunity and a waste-diversion activity.
Smith-Kasten also said she met with the new Seeds Director at the Armory to plan a plastic collection and education project for next summer, noting collaboration with the Manistee Conservation District. The committee recorded these project updates as informational; no formal approvals or funding actions were recorded in the Jan. 7 meeting minutes.
