worm bins in the classroom - 2007/07/26 13:50 Hi! I'd like to introduce a worm bin into my child's 22-kid second grade classroom this fall, but I wonder if a small bin would be over-full at the end of each week. I wish I could say that the kids don't throw away a lot of their lunch, but--! Many kids do bring their own lunch, but I'd say 5 to 10 buy lunch and these are the ones likely to dump larger quantities of food.

As a composter myself, I know that cheese and meat don't go in the bin. Is that really hard to control in a classroom situation?

Does any one have experience in this who can advise me before I approach the school/teacher?

Thanks,

Teresa
