Projet réussi

In October 2019, LFNW expanded to serve residents citywide after a successful three-year pilot program. Residents place food scraps in their curbside yard waste bins at no additional cost. More than 270 businesses and organizations, including all 44 Eugene public K-12 schools, currently participate in LFNW and have diverted more than 18,000 tons of food waste from the landfill. The LFNW program earned the city the ICMA's 2021 Community Sustainability Award for Excellence.
