Every day, nearly one million pounds of food ends up in the Franklin County sanitary landfill, but food waste in central Ohio is on the decline thanks in part to a campaign from the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO).

SWACO's goal is to cut in half the amount of food headed to the landfill by 2030.

We are taking a look at the issue of food waste and what's being done about it in central Ohio.
