San Francisco, California
Almost 2,000 restaurants, coffee shops, markets and other food establishments are diverting food residuals and food contaminated cardboard and paper to composting as part of a citywide program in San Francisco. "We have separate containers for compostables in our customer area," says Betsy Holwitz, owner of the Arizmendi Bakery, "plus six different compost bins in the work area." Twice named Commercial Recycler of the Year, the bakery also provides customers with compostable forks, knives and spoons. "We also give folks a 20-cent discount if they bring in their own coffee mug," adds Horwitz. The city program is actively supported by Sunset Scavenger Company which can be contacted at www.sunsetscavenger.com or www.goldengatedisposal.com.
