After lunch (on a daily bases) go pick it up and leave them a replacement container. Just trade them out daily (the have to be washed daily also). Some meals you cant recycle--such as meals with garlic in them (affects the taste of eggs). The school can not put any trash or paper items in it though, only food scraps. Our Christian School jumped at the idea after we told them we would donate a pig that they helped feed with left overs at the annual school fund raiser auction. Kids at school waste more than they eat. They are too busy talking at lunch time.
