I’m embarrased to see it’s been about two months since the last blog post.  We’ve been working hard, learning how to operate the event venue and the shared kitchen.  It’s been a terrific learning curve, so much every day.  I know we get better each day at what we’re doing, and the event hosts, caterers and kitchen clients are working with us in developing practices that are awesome.

One big discovery:  not many people know what can and cannot go in our recycling.  Including our waste haulers, who I call and ask regularly.  We are working on making it easy for people to learn in our space.  It’s wonderful to see that everyone really wants to do it right, we just need to get good information delivered.

Plastic containers with #1 and #2 symbols=yes.  Plastic wrap, plastic grocery bags=no.  Aluminum roasting pans=YES!  It’s much more friendly to recycle aluminum than to mine more bauxite.  Just rinse out the foodstuff, and we’re all good!
