On September 30th, 2015, as part of the EPA’s Making a Visible Difference in Communities initiative, a Southern Nevada Food and Organics Recovery Workshop was hosted by U.S. EPA, the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP), the Environmental Finance Center West (EFCWest) and the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) of Southern Nevada, in Las Vegas.
This workshop brought together 36 representatives from the private sector, government agencies, non-profit organizations and academia to explore opportunities and barriers to the recovery of wasted food and other organic wastes generated in Southern Nevada.
