Mecklenburg County (North Carolina, USA) commissioned a Food Waste Diversion Study as part of the County's efforts to better understand the quantities, distributions, markets and infrastructures of food waste in the commercial and residential sectors. The study's goal is to establish baseline information needed to evaluate the feasibility of a future food waste recovery pilot program and subsequent comprehensive countywide recovery program. The information obtained from this study will also be used by the County in its Solid Waste Master Plan revisions.
