Our Mission:
Tarbell’s will become a sustainability leader among the over 500,000 small independent restaurants in the US. By implementing low impact, green and sustainable practices, we will become a model for others to follow. Many independent restaurants lack resources, knowledge or access to information on how to become green and sustain these types of practices. Tarbell’s goal is to thoroughly document our successes and failures and create a roadmap for other independent restaurants. We will become an example so that others in the industry can realize the ways in which they too can incorporate sustainability into their business practices.
DROP OFF YOUR WINE BOTTLES AT TARBELL’S!
(We’ll recycle them for you!)
What We Do:
Starting in 2022 we began working with Glass King we’ve successfully recycled all glass wine bottles (and other glass) and consistently divert over 4 tons of glass from our Arizona landfills annually! *Check out Don’t Trash Glass!
Starting in 2022 we began composting our food waste with Recycled City and establishing sure proof ways to ensure that all compostable items make it to compost bins rather than trash bins.
We meet and work with several wonderful groups of ASU Master of Sustainability Solutions students that will be working with us directly to improve our practices!
