Green compost program turns restaurant scraps into farm soil
In Berkeley, a growing recycling program converts restaurant and household scraps into Four Course Compost for farms and vineyards across Northern California. More than 2,200 eateries and 75,000 San Francisco households participate, reducing landfill waste and costs while boosting morale in kitchens. Metreon figures show monthly garbage pickup savings around $1,600 per site.
