Mitchell’s dream to start Restaurant Recyclers came many years ago when he noticed so much waste going to the landfills. In most of the restaurants where he was the chef, he usually had a garden where he composted all of his food waste and grew heirloom varieties of herbs and vegetables for the restaurant. He had separate containers for all of the kitchen’s recycables. “From the Earth to the Table and back to the Earth”
