Hannaford Supermarkets announced Tuesday that it is no longer sending food waste to landfills from any of its 183 stores in New England and upstate New York. The Scarborough-based company said it is the first large grocery retailer in the Northeast to achieve the feat. Company officials said they have been able to do so through careful management of store deliveries, donations to food pantries and farms, and working with a Maine trash-to-energy operation to convert food that can’t be used otherwise into fuel.
