WastED - A Waste and Recycling Podcast by SWACO
Bring your leftover Halloween candy to the Ronald McDonald House and see recycle and reuse in action!
Here at SWACO, we're all about partnerships and learning from our neighbors new ways to recycle and reuse. So, this month is the perfect time to meet our friends at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio. Did you know we're home to THE largest Ronald McDonald house in the world? In fact, our local house just completed a big renovation which cements their worldwide status. Joining Hanna and Joe is Ronald McDonald House Charities Communications Director, Maddie Knostman. She highlights several big initiatives like their 'Pop Tab Challenge', chef's garden, and various ways you can volunteer. But for this episode, we start the conversation with Maddie on how easy it is to drop off your leftover Halloween candy. It's a great way to avoid food waste at home plus you're providing sweet treats to families and kids who likely could use a pick-me-up. Plus, if you're wondering where to take your pumpkins after Halloween, Joe and Hanna have the complete list of cities and towns in Central Ohio that'll compost them for you.
