Food Waste Weight Results - Week Two

Our second Food Waste Weighing Wednesday went off great! Once again, the people who came through were very courteous and showed a lot of interest in what we were doing, and we truly appreciate that!

Our totals were a little better than last week, too! This week we had 554 people come through during the hours of 11:30 and 3:00. Our weight totals were:


133 pounds of edible waste.
12 gallons of liquid waste.

This shows a reduction in food waste from last week. Of course two days of weighing waste isn't enough to make a judgment on, but I hope this means that people are being more conscious of how much food they are taking. What do you think? Are you more aware of how much is being thrown away? Are you taking less to reduce that amount? Let us know! Leave a comment - we'll be happy to see your thoughts.


We still had a table full of untouched food, however. Is this something that can be reduced? What do you think?
