That\u2019s when what started as an 18,000-customer pilot expanded to a citywide program with 750,000 households able to drop food scraps, soiled papers, and yard waste into their green bins.<\/p>\n<p>Consumer outreach and education have been key to keeping costs down and to tackling a universal challenge: shrinking the contamination rate of a difficult stream. Today in LA the program is seeing a contamination rate of around 5% to 15%. Angelenos have learned how and why to divert through print mailers; social media and online platforms that post videos and images; messaging at local events; LASAN yard open houses; backyard composting workshops; and community clean-ups.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers and ambassadors do inspections. And other efforts to double down on contamination includes prohibiting plastic bags, as well as materials labeled as compostable unless LASAN has verified them as suitable for the program, based on feedback from its commercial compost partners. On average LA Compost collects over 150,000 pounds of organic material monthly from Angelenos across compost hubs and farmers\u2019 markets in its LA City network. The service is free and participants who bring their food scraps to the farmers\u2019 markets get a complimentary bag of compost.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waste360.com\/food-waste\/what-los-angeles-has-learned-about-curbside-food-waste-collections\">Waste360<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-397\/\">What Los Angeles Has Learned About Curbside Food Waste Collections<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[11458,575,7101],"class_list":["post-116815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-curbside-food-waste","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-los-angeles"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116815\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
