Reduce Food Waste!

During April’s Food Waste Prevention Week (Earth Month 2024), millions of people were energized to reduce food waste and divert organics from landfills. To keep the interest and momentum going, visit the website IRecycleSmart.com (a service of CalRecycle) to learn more about videos. Visit IRecycleSmart.com/Organics/ to get started with managing food purchasing and food scraps to reduce waste.

The Smart Gardening program of Los Angeles County offers excellent videos on Introduction to Composting, Small-Space Gardening, Organic Gardening, and Water-Wise Gardening. These resources are terrific for learning how to compost, grow your own pesticide-free food, and conserve water – all important to reducing food waste!
