A Little Compost Boast

It's been 9 years since our compost program started at our restaurants, and we're so proud of it. Back then we were limited to just "clean" organic matter such as veggies, bread crusts...no meat! But now that technology has caught up to our needs, we can compost anything from the rinds from freshly squeezed lemons to oyster shells to the bones we use to make our stocks. Even our compost bags are made out of corn. Our compost makin' scraps are picked up twice weekly by Cedar Grove Compost who then turns all these nutrient rich bits and pieces into garden-growing compost for parks all over the city. Think about that the next time you don't take that doggy bag home!
