STOP FOODWASTE Eat Smart, Waste Less and Compost the Rest
According to the EPA, one-third of the food produced in the United States goes uneaten each year with an average household of four spending nearly $3,000 each year on food that goes uneaten. When food goes uneaten, the resources that went into growing, harvesting and transporting that food go to waste as well. Reducing the amount of food you waste at home not only can help reduce your environmental footprint, but it can also save you money!  Use the smart shopping guidelines at the link below.

Better Earth’s Compost Drop Off Database guides you to your local compost drop off location. Compost Drop Off Sites are locations where residents can drop off their organic waste to be composted, typically for no additional charge. From there, organic waste is picked up and taken to a local composting facility to be processed into a nutrient-rich soil amendment.
