These folks know how to be resourceful and they are changing the way we process our waste!

For 50 years, Neal Brooks, owner of Grower's Market Inc. in Laveen, has made it his mission to stop waste from wedging its way into landfills.PHOENIX — There's a surprising amount of discarded food that makes its way to our Valley landfills. One company is changing the way we process our waste, by putting it to good use.

"Part of our passion and our continued mission is to bring back home and school gardens across the Valley. Arizona is the most wasteful state in the country, with more than 186 25-ton trucks of garbage going into our landfills," he explained. Brooks gave 12News a hands-on look at the operation, including the 9.5 billion dollars of food waste that works its way through the process.
