Composting the Fruit Scraps

Our school is part of the 'Fruit in Schools' programme.

Twice a week we get deliveries of fruit, and each class gets a bucket of fruit to enjoy every day. 
Pineapples are a favourite. 
Other fruits we might get include apples, oranges, pears, plums, melon, kiwifruit and persimmons among others.

We don't put the fruit scraps in with the other rubbish. 
Class monitors take the scraps down to the compost bin.

The scraps get put in the school compost heap and the compost is used on the gardens.

Do you compost food scraps?
