The MetroWest Daily News published an article about The Food Recovery Act, which was introduced this week. This bill outlines a series of strategies for reducing food waste on a national level including expanding tax deductions and liability protections for businesses and institutions that donate food.

Massachusetts, which implemented a commercial organics waste ban in 2014, has been helping to increase food waste diversion through the RecyclingWorks program. RecyclingWorks recently published food donation guidelines for Massachusetts businesses.

RecyclingWorks in Massachusetts assists businesses and institutions with recycling and food waste reduction through composting and food donation. To speak to a recycling expert, call our hotline: (888) 254-5525 or email us at info@recyclingworksma.com.
