From The New York Times: How Central Ohio Got People to Eat Their Leftovers
From food waste drop-off locations to share tables at local schools, the food waste reduction efforts in central Ohio have been recognized on a national level!
Thank you for joining SWACO and the Central Ohio Food Waste Initiative in keeping food out of the landfill and reclaiming it to be a resource for our community. With your help, we can cut Central Ohio food waste in half by 2030.
Central Ohio landfills nearly 1 million pounds of food waste every single day. That’s why leaders from across Franklin County came together in 2019 to form the Central Ohio Food Waste Initiative. Working together, over 150 partners in the initiative are reclaiming lost resources on a path to cutting Central Ohio food waste in half by 2030.
