Tis the Season to Recycle

Holidays are all about cooking delicious meals. This holiday, think about reducing wasted food in your kitchen. 

• Buy ingredients in bulk and use reusable containers when possible. Consider making your own broth using leftovers in your refrigerator.
• Check with your guests beforehand to see if they’d like to take leftovers home, and adjust your cooking accordingly. Ensure you have sufficient containers, aluminum foil, and storage items to pack everything securely.
• Clean out your freezer to make room for all the food you’re saving. Your freezer is a magic “pause” button for your food—if stored properly, you can safely freeze holiday leftovers for months.
• Collect your food scraps and bring them to your local Food Waste Drop-Off site for composting.
• Do you want to win friends and influence people? Bring your food waste collection caddy to holiday parties! We promise it will spark conversation.

Pro tip: Use the Guest-imator when shopping to ensure you make just the right amount for your holiday dinners.
