In partnership with Blue Earth Compost and FLIK Independent School Dining, Pomfret School has started converting food scraps generated during meal prep into clean, renewable energy at a licensed composting and anaerobic digestion facility.
Blue Earth Compost is Connecticut’s leading food scrap collection service for residents, municipalities, and businesses. They work with many independent schools.
“Blue Earth Compost is happy to be working with Pomfret School to help divert food scraps from landfills,” said Blue Earth Compost CFO and Director of Business Development Sam King. “Schools are essential to us. We are encouraged by the students’ passion for sustainability and are honored to help see the tangible effects of their advocacy for composting and waste reduction.”
While this partnership with Blue Earth Compost is new, some Pomfret faculty have been composting food scraps in their homes. The number of families composting increased last year after Maya Gerum ’23 helped secure a grant to provide compost tumblers to faculty houses around campus. Her efforts were part of her sustainability certificate project, which focused on helping faculty, their families, and their advisory groups learn how to compost to reduce waste and methane emissions. “The partnership with Blue Earth Compost is a great step in helping Pomfret reduce the amount of food waste that ends up in landfills,” said Director of Sustainability Annie O’Sullivan.
