Lucia Brea, Jefferson School STEAM coordinator, explained to students what can and cannot go into compost bins and urged them to bring the message home as part of the city's food-scrap program launch.

Lucia Brea, STEAM coordinator for Jefferson School, addressed students at the launch to explain basic composting rules and encourage them to participate. "So we're here to compost. So we can put things like the food scraps, okay, the fruit peels that you don't eat. We can put that in those bins to compost," Brea said, and she warned students not to put plastic or glass in the compost bins.

City officials emphasized schools as a focus for outreach so young people can carry composting habits home. Speakers at the event specifically named Jefferson students and invited school districts to adopt similar practices as the city rolls out drop-off sites and outreach events.
