More than 30% of material that enters California landfills is considered organic material. Organic material includes edible food, which can be recovered to combat food insecurity. By recovering edible food we not only help out those in need, but also preserve valuable landfill space! The link above contains a list of Food Recovery Organizations that service Orange County. For more local options, please contact your City Recycling Coordinator.
