Why We Need Composting at Stoneridge

3 Potato 4 at Stoneridge Mall is offering not only recycle, but also compost

options!

Here are some benefits to the city of Pleasanton:

• Turning waste into a value-added resource by providing valuable

feedstock for the region's only licensed composting facility.

• Extending the life of the region's only landfill.

• Preventing greenhouse emissions and leachate caused by decomposing

organic landfill waste.

• Producing valuable products, such as compost and fertilizer, that

enhance soil and aids in plant growth.

A Mom & Pop Smart Business

The Blanchard’s are members and supporters of green business and shop

green initiatives, “Sorry Kermit, it is easy being green,” laughs Guenevere

Blanchard, noting the vast variety of cost-efficient, recyclable, biodegradable,

and compostable packing available today. 3 Potato 4 serves customers organic

baked fries in a biodegradable paper cone, and the soup bowls and coffee cup

lids, spoons and soufflé cups are made out of potato starch…. all compostable.

“The entire business is biodynamic in that everything we’re serving to our

customer is consumable, compostable, recyclable or bio-degradable,” she

explains, adding, “We’re using the potato from start to finish.”

As a customer dining at 3 Potato 4, you are both supporting a small local

business and lowering the carbon footprint of Pleasanton, while enjoying guiltfree

baked fries! It’s a win-win!
