ABOUT

Plate to Field

We are a collaborative, community-powered organics management initiative by Erie County and WeRadiate to develop and expand food scrap drop-off programs

Enabling food waste collection services for a greener tomorrow

This program builds on the county's successful food waste diversion programs for county facilities and expands the use of the Alden Correctional Compost Facility where all collected waste will be composted.
