Reply to comment by Anustart15 in Boston could be first municipality to require stores, restaurants, and hotels to donate leftover food by uxd

The only sensible way to write this policy is right of first refusal on behalf of the charity.

Otherwise, the charities will become inadvertent waste haulers dealing with more food than they can distribute.

I’d say right if first refusal to charity, and mandatory composting for anything left after that. Alternative to composting would be give/sell to farmers who can sterilize the waste and feed it to pigs. Really, anything to keep it out of the waste stream.

Pretty sure those other things have already been the law for a while.
