Food Waste Resource Page

Did you know that in Washoe County, nearly a quarter of all garbage sent to the landfill is food waste? This Earth Month, KTMB will focus on education about food waste and alternatives to sending it to the landfill. Check out these quick videos featuring our friends at The Nevada Department of Agriculture to learn about trench composting and at-home methods for maintaining herbs. Plus, learn the difference between sell-by, use-by, and best-by dates on packaged food with our partners at Save Mart.
