West Coast Reduction Ltd. - Nothing Left Behind. At West Coast Reduction, nothing is more important to us. Because when there’s nothing left – that is when we’ve done our job. We collect food waste and by-products from food producers, like farms, restaurants, bakeries, and even supermarkets, transforming them into ingredients used in animal feed, renewable energy, and thousands of other products we use every day. Our efforts contribute to a sustainable local food supply and help us all live in cleaner and healthier communities. Visit our company website at www.wcrl.com to learn more.
