The Shift-Change Sort
A compost poster shows the rules, but a new shift still has to apply them. This practice, about five minutes long, puts you at a fictional café prep station with seven items and one compost program's published guidance. Sort each one, see why, then try an item the list doesn't name. You'll leave with a station checklist and the questions to put to the program, including three places where its own pages disagree.

Seven things by the compost bin
It's 2:55 p.m. at a fictional café that sends its food scraps to a commercial compost pickup. You're taking over the prep station, and the morning shift left these beside the bin. For each one, decide what this program's published guidance supports.

Something the list doesn't name
From the walk-in: a head of lettuce that went limp, still in its clear plastic clamshell. What happens to it?

Your station checklist
This checklist builds from your sorting. It keeps the program's answer even where your choice differed, and it lists what still needs confirming, including three places where CERO's own pages disagree. Edit it freely: it stays on this page and is never sent anywhere.
You've edited this text, so later choices won't overwrite it unless you rebuild.
About this example
It's for anyone who trains kitchen or café staff to use a commercial compost bin, and for the program that writes the rules. A poster shows the rules. This page lets someone practise applying them, including to an item the poster doesn't name, and learn when to stop and ask instead of guessing.
- Where the answers come from: only the three CERO pages listed above, as read on 22 October 2026. Where they agree, the exercise teaches the rule. Where they disagree (certified “compostable” cups, pizza boxes, yard waste), it teaches the question rather than picking a side.
- What it isn't: CERO's training, an assessment of anyone, food-safety or hazardous-waste advice, or a record of real contamination. It doesn't say where “keep out” items should go instead, and it makes no claim about emissions or savings.
- Privacy: your choices and anything you type stay in this page. Nothing is stored, sent or tracked, and it all disappears when you leave or press Start over.
- How it was made: written and built by Dorian Hartwood with AI assistance (Claude), then checked line by line against the sources. A program adapting it would supply its approved rules, its own station photos and languages, and the final review.
Version 1, 22 October 2026. Rules change, so check the program's current pages before relying on any of this.
