Many folks, rightly so, are concerned about the quality of food that our public schools serve. A somewhat related problem is the amount of food (think gooey vegetables or rubbery fried fish) that’s thrown out.

These collections will allow you to recycle your cooked and raw food scraps which will then go off to be commercially composted at a local facility. This compost is then used in agriculture, landscaping and horticulture. Further information on this process is available
