Food Waste

What if the food left behind when restaurants close could fight hunger instead of filling landfills — meet "Rolling Tomato," the nonprofit rescuing thousands of pounds of surplus food to feed Idahoans in need.

Boiseans can now place meat, dairy, grains and cooking oil in their green trash containers.

Food waste has a big impact on our environment, which is why the city of Boise is working to reduce the amount of food that makes it to our landfills.
