With support from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the city hopes to promote sustainable practices and engage the community in responsible food waste management. The program is designed to educate residents about minimizing waste and the benefits of composting. Scheduled to commence on September 11, 2023, at 09:00 AM local time, this initiative reflects a proactive approach to environmental stewardship.

The city’s efforts are timely given the growing emphasis on sustainability in local governance. By addressing food waste, the program not only contributes to environmental health but also fosters community involvement. This pilot program could serve as a model for similar initiatives across the country.
