Most participating schools have installed the composter at the covered playground.
If the composter is installed in other places, please note the following :
(A) Installed outdoor
- If the composter is installed outdoor, an awning or a waterproof container is recommended to be installed for better operation under bad weather conditions.
- An air outlet should be provided in the waterproof container to allow air in and out.

(B) Ventilation
- In area with poor ventilation, exhaust fans should be installed and turned on during the operation of composter to ensure proper ventilation in the area.
- The exhaust outlet should be away from the members in school to avoid nuisance.
(C) Minimizing influence to school members
- Ensure the operation area has enough lighting and space to transport and handle food waste.
- Do not place any miscellaneous objects, chemicals, flammable substances or fire near the composter.
- Keep the working environment clean to prevent pest.
