Participate in America Recycles Day!

Reducing waste is key to a safe & healthy environment. During the course of the year, many don’t realize the amount of food waste dumped into landfills across America. During America Recycles Day, November 15th, we invite you to participate in reducing food waste around the community. Food waste is any type of edible that is discarded during prepping of food or after the consumption of meals. In the United States we lose about one third of all food products that go untouched but are still edible! There are many ways to take a stand against food waste, including: Shopping your fridge first, planning a menu, and maintaining food fresh.

During this holiday month, we encourage you to be mindful of what we discard away and help us reach a clean and less wasteful community.
