The purpose of this petition is not to stall or get in the way of the City’s efforts to meet its mandates on SB1383 and AB1826. As a social enterprise that has been at the forefront of offering community scale composting services, Food2Soil sees certain gaps in the City’s planned rollout of the organics recycling program. These gaps penalize citizens for wasting less and recycling in their neighborhoods. They also eliminate CRMC’s from the marketplace thus leaving the playing field exclusively for large franchise haulers and reducing the choice of service providers available to residents and businesses.

OUR RIGHT TO COMMUNITY COMPOST
The Gaps In Curbside Food Waste Recycling
a one size fits all solution that penalizes citizens for wasting less and recycling responsibly
TL ; Dr? (Too Long; Didn't Read) There is no process in place for home based composters and Food2Soil members to opt-out or request a waiver from the mandatory hauler provided green organics bin. The hauler’s smallest green bin (32 gallon cart) is too big for the average household and takes away valuable soil building nutrients from our communities. Food2Soil will be leading a respectful campaign to fill in the gaps in policy and we hope you will join us. |
