West Liberty Foods achieves landfill-free milestone at Bolingbrook operations
West Liberty Foods is said to be one of the first in the nation to be verified landfill-free companywide.
West Liberty Foods, LLC, West Liberty, Iowa, announced that all of its facilities are landfill-free, with its West Liberty Foods and Liberty Cold operations in Bolingbrook, Ill., achieving this milestone in April. Since October 2015, the facilities have eliminated over 9.2 million pounds of waste from local landfills.
Building on West Liberty Foods’ success in transitioning its other three manufacturing locations to landfill-free, this move means the organization is said to be one of the first in the nation to be verified landfill-free companywide, eliminating nearly 120 million pounds annually of waste previously sent to local landfills, or approximately 5,000 garbage trucks.
