The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection is putting a new emphasis on donating food versus trashing food.
This November, RecyclingWorks, an organization funded by MassDEP, launched their "Food Donation Guidance for Massachusetts Businesses" page on the RecyclingWorks website.
"We were getting a noticeably increased volume of requests to get assistance for starting an effective donation program," said Lorenzo Macaluso, director of Green Business Services with RecyclingWorks.

RecyclingWorks connects businesses with services and resources to help them create or expand green operations, like recycling, composting and diverting food waste.
