In July 2015, a series of new composting and recycling services debuted in Oakland, California. City officials touted the new program, part of their “Oakland Recycles” initiative, as “a huge step” forward in Oakland’s goal to produce zero waste.1 Although the new services were intended to make Oakland more sustainable, the details of the program show its early impact has been just the opposite. The leading criticism of the rules is that they effectively force restaurants to throw away tons of food that might otherwise be recycled as compost. Somehow, a newservice intended to reduce waste has instead promoted the wasting of food. |
