Thank you for your interest in partnering with the Sanitation Foundation to bring a waste diversion activity to your school!
Unfortunately, we have reached capacity for the 2024 Fall Term and cannot accept new activity requests at this time.
Please check back in January for our Spring Term offerings!
In the meantime, we invite you to check out our Educator Resources below.
Educator Resources
C if for Compost
Designed for PreK-2 learners, this multi-part activity explores how organic waste is broken down into compost.
Litter Cleanups
Remove litter from your community and determine follow-up actions you can take to reduce nearby pollution.
Waste Audits
Investigate a trash bin at your school and develop a plan to improve recycling on your school grounds.
Follow Your Waste Curriculum
We’ve designed a comprehensive waste and recycling curriculum for elementary, middle, and high school students. The curriculum includes interactive activities that are engaging and easy for teachers to add to their existing lesson plans.
Follow Your Waste Game
Follow Your Waste is an interactive, educational game for kids 5+ that follows the lifecycle of materials in each of New York City’s residential waste streams. Users will learn how to sort their waste and where it goes after being collected. Along the way, users will also learn about the ongoing efforts of NYC Sanitation to keep the City clean, safe, and healthy.
Available in English, Spanish, and Chinese (Mandarin).
