With over a million pounds of food going to the SWACO landfill everyday, four simple tips can help reduce waste and save your family over $2,000 a year. #FoodWastePreventionWeek
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
The FREE food scraps drop-off site at Dodge Park and Community Center in Franklinton is back—just in time for the start of #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.
