Tips on Minimizing Food Waste

By Patti Lynn, CCSWA Recycling Resources Manager

Summer is a great season for picnics, barbeques, and celebrations - enjoying foods like cold salads, watermelon, grilled meats. If you are Trash Smart, you know that we can all do better with how we manage uneaten food. 

Some Chester County Residents have a compost bin in their yard, mixing yard waste with food scraps. Some folks pay a composting company to collect their food scraps curbside. While Chester County works on trying to minimize food waste disposal, with limited composting options, there are some behaviors you can change while you plan meals, food shop, cook, and clean the plates. Be Trash Smart; pledge to adopt even one action:

• Scan your kitchen, and plan meals with those ingredients before buying more perishable food.
• Use leftovers in an upcoming meal. An uneaten baked potato can be tomorrow's home fries.
• Mix bruised fruit with yogurt in a blender for a nutritious beverage. 
• Check out the "Guest-imator" at www.savethefood.com to help you plan meals for special events.
• Donate only USABLE, WANTED food to food pantries.
• Learn to compost! Find composting resources at www.chestercountyswa.org.
