Nonprofit Urges N.O. Restaurants to Recycle Oyster Shell - Biz New Orleans
CRCL is expanding its oyster shell recycling program by opening up participation to more restaurants in the New Orleans area – and possibly beyond. The program allows restaurants that generate oyster shell to significantly reduce their trash volume and weight, while also creating habitat for new oysters to grow. The program keeps the shell out of landfills and instead uses it to slow coastal erosion in the state that has had more than 2,000 square miles of wetlands vanish in less than a century.
