This is just a quick post about a program helping us all by turning food scraps into compost! Starting this Saturday and every Saturday until October 15, 2011 – you will now be able to drop off your food scraps at the West End Farmers Market in Vancouver. Funded by the City of Vancouver, this program is setting the bar for all food type waste programs to try combat unwanted food waste entering our land fills. Show your support and do the right thing and bring your scraps down!
The West End Farmers Market in Vancouver is located at the 1100 block on Comox Street, every Saturday from 9AM – 2PM
Below are the official flyers from the program coordinators!
What a great idea ! It’s a nice way to educate people about food waste !
Thanks Jessica! Yes a great way to educate I think! Already been collecting our food waste to drop off this Saturday.
That’s definitely needed. Wonder if there are other drop spots in Vancouver. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Dave – thanks for writing up a post about the project – it’s been going super well and I just have to thank everyone who pitch in by just talking it up – if you want any more informations or update – please let me know. Cheers, Daniel (from the Food Scraps Drop Spot)
Hi Daniel
