Broward SWA

Broward County generates around 20,000 lbs of trash every minute. With facilities near capacity, 28 cities and the County are working together on a solution.

[Broward SWA @BrowardSWA]

Remember, we are generating 20,000 pounds of waste per minute in Broward. We can all do something to bring that number down. Find more ways to prevent food waste at home at https://t.co/yLDegvkUDe

We’re halfway through Food Waste Prevention Week. Time for some tips on keeping your fruits and veggies fresh:

[Broward SWA @BrowardSWA]

1. Separate ripe from unripe fruit

2. Store basil in a cup of water, like flowers

3. Separate bananas from other produce as they promote ripening

4. Store an apple with potatoes to prevent sprouting

5.Always refrigerate cut or peeled produce
