We love Rust Belt Riders, a Cleveland-based curbside composter who will pick up your food scraps and compost them for you (and they also offer residential drop-off services and serve commercial customers as well). Additionally, some businesses offer pick up or drop off of compost and some cities offer compost pick up with waste services. Many people compost in their backyard with a compost bin or barrel with little trouble. Composting these food scraps along with garden waste is a key solution. To reduce food waste, we need to both reduce the amount of food that goes uneaten and also address the scraps that can’t be eaten. Happily, food waste is something we can address at our own homes and don’t need to rely others to do the work for us. If food waste was a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gasses in the world, behind China and the United States. Left over, scrap, and uneaten food is part of this problem. Our waste and what to do with it is a big part of our world’s climate change solutions.
