The food waste you toss out will one day help keep a lid on city garbage collection costs as well as help clean the air you breathe. The Manteca City Council this month put two key components of its cutting-edge food waste to fuel endeavor out to bid setting the stage by early 2019 for the food scraps you leave on the plate in your favorite restaurant to power the solid waste collection trucks picking up your household trash.The overall project is pegged at $19.8 million. Of that cost, however, $10.5 million worth of work had to be done anyway at the treatment plant to replace aging digester and build a new digester control building.
