Would you like to help your school reduce, recycle and recover food waste? The School Food Waste Guidelines are a set of instructions designed to help K-12 schools and higher education institutions pursue best practices for managing school waste. The guidelines were created following a request from the New Jersey School Food Waste Guidelines legislation P.L.2017, c.210. The School Food Waste Guidelines are presented as two PDFs - one for K-12 schools and the other for higher education institutions. Both have been updated for the 2019-2020 school year.
