The city's 18 schools and 5 public institutions generate approximately 120 tons of food waste annually, costing taxpayers $280,000 in disposal fees. Currently only 15% of cafeteria food waste is composted, while the rest goes to landfill. A pilot program in 3 schools showed that smart portioning and donation partnerships reduced waste by 40%. The challenge is to scale this across all institutions, establish partnerships with local food banks, implement composting infrastructure, and achieve a 60% reduction in food waste within 3 years.
