If everyone scheduled a "leftover night" once a week, and used it to eat everything that will otherwise spoil or be thrown out, that would help a lot! You can toss any fruits, veggies, etc., into a salad, and most everything else can become either a main entrée or a side dish, depending on quantity. I find writing out weekly dinner menus and using them to create my shopping list cuts down on excess waste too.

  Wow! Are you kidding me? Where is it located? Someones home for everyone? If not then i don't see why it's a problem? Or maybe it's bc if you put too much it causes mold and mildew.......

  It seems it was "discontinued" as one neighbor complained to the HOA president.
