Waste Reduction

Edible Food Recovery

Donate to Food Recovery Organizations

The City of Rancho Palos Verdes recommends working with a local organization to eliminate food waste and provide food to community members in need. There are many benefits of donating food from your business or home to a food rescue organization: 

  • Contribute to a worthwhile cause that helps feed people
  • Reduce food waste, resource use, and greenhouse gas emissions
  • Comply with local mandates on waste including state law SB 1383. 
  • Receive a tax deduction
  • Reduce waste disposal expenses


Where Can I make a Food Donation?

Please check the organization’s website for drop-off hours or call ahead to arrange a donation drop-off or pick-up.
