Note that lots of food waste is already picked up by the municipality along with other trash and goes to a landfill where it is wasted. In fact, it's decomposing food waste that corrupts the whole landfill creating noxious odors and attracting vermin, especially rats.
My plan would have participants freeze or refrigerate food waste and put it out in a covered container for pickup once a week.
Of course, growers, food processors, food stores, and restaurants represent the biggest source of food waste, and the waste is enormous.
