Residents in single-family homes and apartments will receive countertop food waste bins that can hold scraps for a day or two before they\u2019re dumped in green waste bins.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/\">Environmental Protection Agency<\/a>, about 40 percent of food is wasted in the U.S. In addition, 15 percent of the nation\u2019s methane emissions are created once that food ends up in landfills.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Composting isn\u2019t hard.

It was passed in 2016 and the goal of the bill is to actually reduce methane emissions and other short-lived climate pollutants,\u201d said Ned Spang. \u201cNow, methane is released when we put organic waste into landfills. So, that\u2019s the portion that I\u2019m looking at because a lot of the organic waste that we put in landfills is actually food waste.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The move is expected to raise trash collection fees in many places as local governments spend funds to create new composting facilities.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/british-prime-minister-johnson-accused-of-hosting-christmas-party-during-second-lockdown\/\">British Prime Minister Johnson Accused Of Hosting Christmas Party During Second Lockdown<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An employee of the restaurant Bissac puts fruits and legumes peelings in a box before throwing it in a special garbage.
