The document is a weekly meal planning and shopping list template created for the Washington County Solid Waste & Recycling (SWR) program in Oregon, which serves unincorporated Washington County and ten additional cities. The template is designed to help residents reduce food waste by providing a structured approach to meal planning and grocery shopping, with tips such as making a shopping list with meals in mind, subtracting meals eaten out, and including ingredient quantities.

The meal planner is part of the SWR's outreach and education efforts, likely intended as a printed resource to support the county's solid waste and recycling program's community engagement strategies. The document includes a blue-framed layout with spaces for daily meal planning and a corresponding shopping list, along with guidance on efficient shopping practices. It directs users to visit EatSmartWasteLess.com for additional food waste prevention information, demonstrating the county's commitment to sustainable consumption practices and waste reduction education.
