County Update: ‘Let’s feed people, not landfills,’ says Commissioner Fast

A 2016 study showed that Johnson County’s food waste was slightly above the national average at 23% of landfill volume. Almost a quarter of what’s in our landfill could have been diverted if it had been eaten!

​Households are responsible for the largest portion of all food waste. You can make a big difference just by making small changes in how you buy and eat.
