Helping Denver save food and save more money!

Welcome to Camp Waste Not, where we save money and help the environment by giving the still-delicious foods in our home a second chance! Here in Denver, we love where we live. At Camp Waste Not, we believe that a little knowledge and few new habits will help Denver save money and keep the Mile-High City beautiful!

Did you know that close to 40% of food is wasted in the United States?

For one, that’s a hefty toll on the environment. Wasted food means more gas-releasing material in landfills, and it means that all the resources that were used to produce, transport, package, and dispose of that food were wasted too. 

Smart food choices benefit both the planet and your budget: Did you know the average American family can save up to $3,000 per year by reducing food waste? That's money back in your pocket just by making the most of the food you already buy!

Become a Camp Waste Not Food Scout by collecting all five Food Scout badges!

What Can I Do?

Each badge shows one practical, easy habit that can help you make the most of your food.
