For the second week in a row, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Sustainability Committee conducted a food-waste audit, this time at Phillips Middle School. Students sorted their lunchtime garbage into separate waste cans to help provide detailed measurements of what is being discarded in district cafeterias.
The final audit occurred last week at East Chapel Hill High School. District and Orange County Solid Waste staff will use the results to help develop plans that will improve efficiency.
