From Food Scraps to Soil Food: Starting a Drop-Off Program in Your Community

In honor of Food Waste Prevention Week, Table2Ground™ hosted a webinar to learn how East Hampton Compost is growing awareness of food waste, diverting scraps from the waste stream and enriching local soils. A collaboration between ReWild Long Island and the Town of East Hampton, with local high school students staffing drop-off locations and working on outreach, EHC is entering its second year and expanding. Chief bin-washer Gloria Maroti Frazee shared valuable insights into the challenges - and rewards - of piloting an all-volunteer initiative, as well as actionable strategies for starting one in your community.
