LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Lansing city leaders report that the city’s Food Scraps Drop-Off Program has collected 60,000 pounds of food waste, diverting 30 tons from landfills.

Launched last year, the program aims to reduce waste and cut down on methane gas emissions.

Instead of ending up in a landfill, the collected food scraps are donated to Hammond Farms, where they are turned into compost.

You can drop off food scraps at the following locations:

Gier Community Center, 2400 Hall St.

Letts Community Center, 1220 W Kalamazoo St.

Foster Community Center, 200 N Foster Ave.

Schmidt Community Center, 5825 Wise Road

Fire Station 1, 120 E Shiawassee St.
