Food Waste Reduction

Use your green bin for food scraps, even food-soiled paper like pizza boxes, paper towels, and coffee filters.

Learn to compost. Fruit and vegetable scraps, even coffee grounds, can become black gold for your garden.

Don’t be fooled by “use by,” “sell by” and “best by” labels. If it looks or smells good, it’s likely just fine.

Overripe fruit and wilted veggies are perfect for soup. Aged or frozen fruit is great for smoothies.

Use leftovers for a future meal, freeze them, or give them to friends and family.

Plan your shopping and shop your plan to only buy what’s needed.
