Reduction In Motion

09/02/2026

Large event spaces don’t operate on a steady rhythm - they surge. A ramp-up in inventory, fluctuating attendance, and the need to be over-prepared often means excess or expired food is part of the equation.

In a perfect world, it’s zero waste. In reality, things happen.

That’s why we help build programs that plan for the “what ifs.” By making sure expired or inedible food is properly sorted and directed to compost instead of the landfill. Because success isn’t just about what goes right - it’s about how you handle what doesn’t.

When food can’t be sold, the landfill doesn’t automatically have to be the next stop, and a recent example from Michigan shows why.

Food pulled from shelves over the recent Cyclospora concerns is being diverted to an anaerobic digestion facility, where the material can be used to produce renewable natural gas rather than simply being discarded.

For facilities generating significant volumes of food waste, the takeaway is that food waste is a stream that needs a plan. Donation, animal feed, composting and anaerobic digestion may all play a role depending on the material, regulations and local infrastructure.

The right solution starts with understanding what you generate and what recovery options are actually available.

What do you do when your small business has FOUR birthdays in August?

You grab whoever is in the office, head outside, soak up the sunshine, and cool off with some shaved ice (and snap a team picture, obviously). 💚

Happy National Beach Day!

A clean beach starts with conscious choices on land. Every piece of waste we sort properly today is one less item polluting our waterways. Let's protect our shorelines, the tributaries leading to our beloved Chesapeake Bay, and help ensure these special places can be enjoyed by future generations.

Every small action adds up. 💙
