Business Food Waste & Recycling Survey

Discover ways to recycle food waste

Food Donation

Feed neighbors in need

Surplus food, such as unsold baked goods, extra prepared meals, or excess produce, is given to food rescue organizations that deliver it to people in need.

Food Scraps

Divert from landfill

Food that can’t be eaten or donated, such as trimmings, plate waste, spoiled food, and coffee grounds, is kept out of the trash and turned into compost or renewable energy.

Cooking Oil

Includes fat & bone

Fryer oil, lard, shortening, animal fats, and meat trimmings and bones are collected and sent to renderers, who can turn them into products like biodiesel and animal feed.
