It's #FoodWastePreventionWeek! Columbus households waste up to $2,000 in food each year. By recycling food scraps, you can save money, enrich local soil and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. Small changes make a big difference for your wallet and for our planet.

Food date labels are often misunderstood as being when food is bad. This isn’t true (except for baby formula) and is one of the reasons food goes to the landfill. These labels are set by manufacturers, and most foods are safe to eat after the listed date. #FoodWastePreventionWeek

Welcome to #FoodWastePreventionWeek! Central Ohio sends over a million pounds of food to the SWACO landfill every single day. Not only could most of this food feed people, but when rotting away in a landfill, it creates powerful greenhouse gasses that fuel the climate crisis.

Welcome to fall! Remember that leaving leaves on the ground is the best option—but if you must collect and dispose of them, composting at home or bagging them in paper bags and setting them out for yard waste collection are good alternatives. Never toss them in the trash.

As some off-campus students woke up, did their morning routine and made their way to their Monday morning classes, they returned home to a white and purple bin on their lawns. At first glance, it may appear to be an average recycling bin. However, this wasn’t the bin students were used to seeing. It was […]
