In an effort to divert non-edible food waste from local landfills, ReWorks is working towards connecting generators of food waste to community gardens to facilitate and to promote composting; food waste examples (excluding meat) include:
- Coffee grounds
- Egg shells
- Fruits
- Vegetables, etc.
This is one small, but potentially impactful, way we can divert material from landfills while encouraging environmentally sound composting and improving soil quality within community gardens.
