Subject: [USCC] food-courts or fast-food franchises who have initiated organics diversion










Folks,

 

The non-profit I work for began a pilot project to develop our region's
composting infrastructure a few months ago. So far, we have recruited
half-a-dozen major food-waste generators, helped to train them in
organics separation, design signage, etc, and hook them up with a
commercial-scale composter in the region. We are actively interested in
increasing the volume of organics that are diverted, the number of
composting facilities and organics haulers, and the markets for compost
in the region. 

 

We have begun to work with a large mall. Although the malls' own
'sustainability coordinator' is gung-ho, she is aware that it might be a
struggle to convince her food-court tenants (including McDonald's,
Houlihan's, Pizza Hut and several others) to participate. We thought
that if any of the corporations these managers work for had prior
experience in diversion anywhere else in the US, they might encourage
their managers at this food court to sign on. 

 

Do any of you know of mall food-courts and/or fast-food franchises
anywhere in the country who have initiated organics diversion? 

Any contact info or even some leads to who/where these might be would be
greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks very much,

 

Nick Shorr
