The organic components of our residential and commercial waste streams — whether woody, leafy, often squishy, and sometimes rotten — present unique challenges and opportunities for policy development, program design, and behavior change. Full Circle is ready to help , whether by providing elementary students with fresh fruits and vegetables, diverting uneaten food from schools to area food banks, collecting food waste from corporate cafeterias, managing landscape debris from office parks, or supporting compost facility development on tribal land. In addition to addressing food security issues, our food policy work also serves to keep other recyclables clean, and avoids generation of potent greenhouse gases through organic decomposition in landfills.
