Bulk Milk

The document advocates for the use of bulk milk dispensers—reusable, insulated containers holding 3-5 gallon bags—in school cafeterias to replace single-use cartons. It highlights that transitioning to bulk dispensers reduces daily milk waste from 3.2 gallons to less than 2 gallons, while addressing the issue of students discarding roughly 32 cartons (approximately 28 pounds) per year.

• Transitioning to bulk milk dispensers reduces the average amount of milk thrown away daily from 3.2 gallons to less than 2 gallons.
• The use of single-use milk cartons results in roughly 32 cartons per student being discarded annually, which equates to nearly 28 pounds of waste.
• Implementing bulk milk dispensers provides additional benefits, including lower trash disposal and recycling fees for lower schools, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impacts, and increased student ownership regarding portion sizes and food service choices.
