Resource Library
In this activity, explore how the League of 4Rs Action Heroes takes action to practice the 4Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rot. Reflect on what actions you can take to stop waste!
The Altamont Education Advisory Board in partnership with KidScoop News and StopWaste, developed the Sorting Saves Activity guide to engage students to sort properly at school and at home. The activity guide can be used as a series of actvities or as standalone activity pages.
Landlords and managers/owners of commercial, multifamily, and single-family residential properties can include this sample template language in their leases to get written commitment from tenants to comply with the sorting requirements of SB 1383 / the Organics Reduction & Recycling Ordinance. For more information about SB 1383, and a complete list of rules and resources in Alameda Cou
Some damaged or defective cans are not safe for donation. Use this guide from the Alameda County Community Food Bank to help evaluate which cans should be discarded instead of donated. As a reminder, any discarded cans must be emptied before tossed: food belongs in a compost bin and cans must be recycled.
These flyers are designed to support local efforts in edible food recovery and SB 1383 compliance. For more information about SB 1383, and a complete list of rules and resources in Alameda County, visit www.StopWaste.org/rules.
This Model Ordinance provides a menu of policy options for Cities in Alameda County to consider adopting as part of their efforts to address single-use plastics and food packaging waste issues. These policies prioritize reuse and the reduction of disposable materials used in food service and beverage packaging.

Topic BriefsSingle-use foodware items, such as plastic and paper cups, plates, and utensils, have a short lifespan but a long-lasting negative impact on human health and the environment.
