Let’s Go Compost is providing free indoor worm composting farm kits to 100 public schools in the United States for leading up to Earth Month 2026! Let's Go Compost is able to support public schools (charters included) in all 50 states at this time. Home school programs should ask their local public libraries to complete the public library form (https://www.letsgocompost.org/libraries).

Each kit includes:

1. One small indoor worm compost bin (Materials provided will not handle more than 0.5-1.0 lb of food waste each week. These systems are designed for small-scale educational use only. They are not intended to process ongoing food waste or public drop-off materials.)
2. 500 composting worms
3. 3 hours of virtual support
4. Access to our K-12 NGSS/STEAM Classroom Composting curriculum

Let’s Go Compost provides initial materials and educational support for setup and curriculum integration. Ongoing maintenance, care of the worms, and replacement of materials (such as bedding or food) would be the responsibility of the participating school. 

After the program concludes, schools are encouraged to continue using their worm farm for ongoing STEM education. A digital Worm Care Guide and optional follow-up session are available to participating schools to support long-term success. This program is great for schools looking to reduce their food waste with introductory level education, who may have a goal of working their way “up” into the cafeteria for larger projects and programs.
