With Earth day coming soon, it’s important to know what you can do to help the environment. One way food trucks can help the environment is by adopting environmentally friendly practices such as recycling food.

• Donate Excess Food to Those in Need: A common problem that food trucks face is preparing enough food for your customers without overproducing. Instead of throwing away excess food that you have, you could partner with a local food bank or shelter to provide food to those in need.
• Compost Food Scraps: Not all scraps of food have to go in the trash. Items like coffee grounds, egg shells, and peels can be composted. Composting turns organic waste into nutrient-rich soil and helps to reduce methane emissions from landfills. 
• Collaborate with Local Farms: Collaborating with farms can be beneficial for the farmers and the environment. Farmers usually use food scraps for animal feed or fertilizer for their crops. You can reach out to local farmers to help build your community and protect the environment.
