Project Status

Summary

LASAN’s Curb Your Food Waste LA is a food waste prevention and recycling pilot that included approximately 18,000 households in 25 neighborhoods across the City of Los Angeles. During the one-year pilot, participants learned to shop smart, waste less food, and recycle the rest. This pilot program helped Los Angeles prepare for the future as statewide targets for reducing organics disposal and increasing food recovery take effect in 2022 with Senate Bill 1383.

TRG played a leading role in creating educational and outreach materials used to engage participants, support the door-to-door engagement, distribute at public events, and employ for other public interfaces. TRG identified and conducted 20 of 30 community events, with a target of two (2) in each council district, at recreation centers, community centers, LA City parks, community gardens, and farmers’ markets across the City of Los Angeles. Additionally, TRG developed and implemented a thorough media program that includes content for the City’s website, multi-lingual how-to videos, newsletter mailers, and event invitation postcards.
