Yolo County, Food Bank Partnership Diverts Nearly 200 Tons

Yolo County and the Yolo Food Bank have partnered on an effort that has kept nearly 200 tons of material out of landfills.

The result

The partnership’s reported impact is measured in landfill reduction: nearly 200 tons. The announcement identifies Yolo County and the Yolo Food Bank as the organizations involved.

That figure gives residents a concrete measure of the effort’s effect, although the announcement does not describe the material included in the total or the period over which it was measured.

Why it matters locally

Keeping material out of landfills can reduce the amount of waste sent for disposal. The partnership connects the county’s role in local services with the food bank’s work in the community.

What comes next

Future updates can clarify how the nearly 200-ton reduction was calculated, what activities produced the result and whether the county and food bank plan to continue or expand the partnership.
