LA Zoo

Of the surplus that is collected, approximately 10 tons per month is shared with animals at the LA City Zoo. This food would have been landfill, but instead, is donated by World Harvest. The program started in December of 2017 when Republic Services and World Harvest partnered up to find ways to better use the valuable food. Since the program began in December 2017, in 6 months alone, over 74 tons of food that would have been wasted, was instead shared with Zoo animals.
