Save Your Banana Peels: Learn How to Compost and Reduce Food Waste

 

Free Workshop: Monday, August 19, 6pm, Public Works, 147 Hampshire St, 1st floor conference room.

Learn the options residents have to compost food scraps, and ways to reduce food waste.  Cambridge's Recycling Director, Ms Randi Mail will review best practices for outdoor composting, indoor composting with worms, and options for drop-off and bicycle pickup. Recycling food scraps and making soil is extremely rewarding, benefits your garden and house plants and helps to curb climate change! Reducing food waste is also incredibly important considering that Americans waste more than 40% of the food we produce for consumption. That comes at an annual cost of more than $100 billion.
