Public Policy Meeting: Metro's Commercial Food Scrap Policy Proposal
Ken Ray, Senior Public Affairs Coordinator with Metro will be speaking on Metro's commercial food scraps policy proposal.
This fall the Metro Council will consider a policy proposal to require, over time, the separate collection of food scraps (separate from garbage) for larger restaurants, grocery stores and other food-oriented businesses. Food is the largest component of what the greater Portland area sends to landfills, where it decomposes and creates methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. Metro is looking to keep more food scraps out of garbage and put that waste to better use creating compost, energy and fertilizer. Additional information about Metro’s food scraps recovery efforts can be found online at www.oregonmetro.gov/foodscraps.
