In 2013, over 200 classes from 32 sites registered for the Less to Landfill Challenge.
 
52 classes from 5 schools sent us their results and for just those 52 classes, by the end of the challenge there was a reduction of  225 mini bins being sent to landfill each week!

Most classes showed a  reduction in the mini bins  sent to landfill each week, however there were 8 classes that really stood out with their results. The table and graph below reflect the 'Total number of mini bins classes reduced being sent to landfill each week'.
