Keep America Beautiful (KAB) in cooperation with the Food Packaging Institute and National Restaurant Association has produced “Being a Good Neighbor: A Guide to Reducing and Managing Litter.” The target audience is quick service restaurants and other locations where food packaging may be littered.
The 10-page guide has a handy audit form to measure litter around restaurants, as well as a foodservice operator checklist to identify potential litter locations inside and outside the establishment. There are also practical tips to help operators reduce and ultimately eliminate litter in and near their establishments. Recommendations for recycling bin and trash receptacle placements make proper disposal of packaging items convenient and accessible. The guide may be downloaded at http://conserve.restaurant.org/solutions. The guide was posted on October 30 on kab.org.
