Milford, Del. \u2014 The Milford Food Bank is taking a significant step toward reducing food waste with the introduction of a new food digester. The technology, developed through collaboration with Keep Delaware Beautiful and the Delaware Solid Waste Authority, will be unveiled on Monday, April 28, at 11 a.m. at the Food Bank of Delaware\u2019s Milford warehouse. The food digester is designed to eliminate up to 500 pounds of food waste daily, which equates to 3,500 pounds each week and an impressive 182,000 pounds annually. The digester uses a natural biological process to break down food waste, converting it into a form that can be safely discharged into the plumbing system.
Officials from Keep Delaware Beautiful, the Delaware Solid Waste Authority, and the Food Bank of Delaware will attend the unveiling event at the Food Bank\u2019s Milford location, located at 102 Delaware Veterans Boulevard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
