For K-5 teachers

Hands-on composting without becoming a compost expert

ClassroomCompost is planning worm-bin setup, four weeks of lessons, and remote help for K-5 classrooms, so you do not have to figure it all out alone.

More than a bin. A plan for using it.

Here is the service we are developing for teachers who want practical help from setup onward.

  • Bin setup

    A worm-bin setup designed around your classroom and a clear care routine, so you start with a plan.

  • Compost lessons

    A four-week lesson sequence to help students observe, ask questions, and explore composting.

    Four weeks

  • Remote support

    A place to ask bin-care questions and work through problems without becoming the compost expert.

  • Replacement promise

    We are testing replacement within a week if a bin smells or attracts pests. Not yet a confirmed guarantee.

How it would work

This is the plan we are shaping with teachers. Pilot timing and service area are not yet confirmed.

  1. Join the waitlist

    Share your email. You get early-access updates as the pilot takes shape, with no payment or commitment.

  2. Tell us what your classroom needs

    We plan to learn about your room, your schedule, and your questions before anything is set up.

  3. Set up, teach, ask for help

    The plan: a bin set up with a care routine, four weeks of lessons, and remote help.

Who we are planning this for

Teachers who want living science in the room, and the people who help bring it into a school.

  • K-5 classroom teachers

    You want hands-on science with limited preparation, and some backup when bin-care questions come up.

  • STEM coordinators

    You want practical environmental learning that teachers can actually keep going, with setup and support included.

  • Principals and budget approvers

    You are weighing a small science purchase. Planned price: $450 per classroom a year, through school purchase orders.

Questions, answered

What will it cost?

The planned price is $450 per classroom per year. Final support hours, supplies, summer-care responsibilities, and replacement terms will be confirmed before any paid pilot. Nothing is for sale on this page.

When is it available, and where?

It is in development. Pilot timing and service area are not yet confirmed. Joining the waitlist is the way to hear first as those details are settled.

Why not just buy a worm kit?

A kit may be enough if you only need equipment. ClassroomCompost is being designed for teachers who also want setup, lessons, and troubleshooting help.

Is the replacement promise guaranteed?

Not yet. We propose replacement within a week if a bin smells or attracts pests, and we are checking local coverage and delivery capacity before confirming it for pilot schools.

Are the lessons aligned to standards?

We have not claimed any standards alignment. The four-week sequence is still being developed, and we will share what it covers as it takes shape.

What happens with my email?

We use it to manage the waitlist and send early-access updates. We do not sell it. Each update will include a way to unsubscribe. Any email address is welcome.
