Restaurant owner finds new way to recycle food waste
Published: June 30, 2009
Source: http://www.ksl.com/KAMAS -- Restaurants throw out a lot of food every day. In fact, Recycle Utah says 25 percent of restaurant food is wasted, but now one restaurant owner has an idea on what to do with it all.
Sean Wharton, owner of The Gateway Grill in Kamas, has an interesting way of dealing with food waste: He gives excess food his customers didn't pig out on to his pigs.
"I think it's my effort to give back to society and be more of a producer than a consumer," Wharton said. It always bugged Wharton how much food got tossed away, so he decided to have his restaurant staff throw extra food away in a separate bucket.
