Learning about Alcoa Wormfarms

Students from Dawesville Catholic Primary School and Tunas Hijau Indonesia visited the Alcoa Wormfarm and Composting site at Pinjarra on Day One of the Mandurah Doing More With Less Sustainability Roadshow. Scott, from Alcoa showed the students the process of collecting the food waste from the canteens, through the sorting process, composting and wormfarms set ups. Students photographed the whole process and found out how much waste was collected and composted in this way, saving Alcoa a whole lot of waste that would have otherwise ended up in their landfill site. Scott showed the students things that are put in the waste collection sites at Alcoa - some can be recycled, some can be composted and put in the worm farm and some  things go straight to landfill. The kids had a great chat to Scott about making behavior gains through education. The kids plan to create projects at their school and plan to share their challenges and solutions with Scott. Schools in the Doing More With Less program will have an opportunity to visit the site with their class after the Roadshow to lean more about the wormfarm and composting process.
