Abstract	This compendium is a tool for bringing waste management education into classrooms. Curriculum materials gathered from across the country were reviewed by California's top environmental educators, both for correlation with the state's educational frameworks and for accuracy and completeness of waste management information. Materials that cover household hazardous wastes, recycling, and solid wastes were evaluated for appropriateness at four grade levels: K-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12. Curricula are arranged in each grade level by rating. Both descriptive and evaluative information is included about each of the 44 materials that scored at or above the required B- level. Two sample pages are featured from each selected curriculum. Each evaluation includes a description of the curriculum, ordering information, a "report card," and comments from evaluators regarding the content and other areas evaluated. A key to the evaluation and the evaluation tool are presented. Significant findings are summarized in the areas of trends, content, grade level coverage, pedagogy, multilingual materials, and teacher usability. Appendices provide a description of the California Department of Education's Environmental Education Curriculum and Compendium Project (of which this is one component), conceptual matrices for environmental education, unifying concepts of environmental education, a conceptual matrix for integrated waste management, conceptual matrix framework correlations, the evaluation tool, and a listing of other curricula evaluated.
