The city of Denver is granting ten restaurants up to $3,600 to pay for one year’s worth of compost hauling ahead of a new rule that will require every restaurant in the city to start composting. This is the first time the city’s office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency has offered assistance for organics recycling, which separates food scraps from other waste for processing into compost, a soil fertilizer. The funding was unveiled earlier this month as part of a sustainability program started two years ago for restaurant operators to replace their utensils with reusable tableware. Operators interested in the composting grant must ask for funding to buy reusable wares — drink glasses, utensils, plates — as part of the same application, according to the program qualifications. Fifteen restaurants are expected to receive up to $1,000 for this purpose. Read more at the link in our bio. 📝: Miguel Otárola, The Denver Post // motarola_eats )📷: Hyoung Chang, The Denver Pos...
