Food Waste Stops With Me

Resources to Help Businesses Toss Less Food

A statewide campaign launched in April 2018 to help businesses reduce the amount of food they throw away. The educational initiative, called Food Waste Stops With Me, is a partnership between the Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association, Metro, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and several local governments.

The campaign is part of a larger effort around food waste that may also include requiring some businesses to keep the food they toss out of the garbage. Metro Council is expected to vote on a proposed policy in July.
