Edible Food Recovery
Reducing the volume of edible food disposed by businesses has been a key priority for Encinitas since the introduction of SB 1383. SB 1383 requires certain food generating businesses to establish written agreements with charitable food organizations to donate surplus food. However, all edible food generating businesses are encouraged to participate. Redistributing excess edible food to those in need has benefits far beyond being charitable. By implementing donation services, your business can also take advantage of tax write-offs and save money on the trash bill, all while helping reduce your greenhouse gas emissions for a greener planet.
Please find more information and resources on how to initiate edible food recovery at your business.
