Scrap Food Waste from the VT DEC

Guest blogger Ali Drew

Recently during the Vermont Organics Recycling Summit (VORS), this website created by The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) was highlighted. It has many helpful resources on how to keep food scraps out of the landfill. The homepage features this short video showing how Vermonters are composting their food waste.

The website also features an “About” tab which has some helpful information on WHY we should compost, and how you can help.

There is a “Tips” tab that features some advice on how to get started to scrap your food waste.

The final tab on the website is called the “Scrapbook”, which features the various ways Vermonters manage their food scraps. These stories include Vermonters that backyard compost, drop-off their food scraps, and/or use a curbside pickup service.
