Continued from Page 38 equivalent of 500,000 pounds. With more food waste diversion being planned, Chamberlain and Heiderman plan to ramp up operations. “We bought a box truck this year that will allow us to haul out materials,” Heiderman said. He also said more restaurants are being added to the mix. Starting this year, the Bayside Skillet at 70th Street, Mother’s Cantina at 28th and 78th streets, Longboard Cafe at 67th Street, Macky’s at 53rd Street, and Fish Tales at 21st Street will join the program to help Go Green OC reach its goal of diverting 500,000 pounds of food from the stream. In addition to the new restaurants,
the organization plans to roll out collection receptacles for pizza boxes, which are non-recyclable but can be converted into compost. “None of this would be possible without the support of Ocean City, who greenlit the pilot program last year,” Chamberlain said. “The city now pays Ocean Compost on a perton basis to remove food waste.” Councilman Peter Buas spoke highly of the program’s goal of converting food waste into compost. “It’s a win-win for everyone,” he said. Along with the pizza box and new restaurants, Go Green OC produced a two-and-a-half-minute training video in 10 different languages to show how the program works.
