The City is offering counter pails to collect food waste until you are ready to place it into your backyard compost bin or in the City’s organics collection container.
Why is it important to compost food scraps? It improves the structure and quality of soil; promoting healthy plant and produce growth. It makes the produce we grow more nutritious, meaning healthier, happier human beings. It omits the need to use synthetic, chemical fertilizers which are often petroleum based. Do not compost plastic or plastic-coated products (e.g., plates, cups, etc.) bioplastics or styrofoam.
Call (310) 253-6400 to get your kitchen counter pails from the Environmental Programs and Operations Division.
