Food Waste Composting
Food Waste Pilot Program
The Solid Waste Authority is conducting a pilot program for residents to compost your food scraps. The purpose of the pilot program is to divert food scraps from landfill disposal to the composting facility and to determine the receptiveness and feasibilty of offering food scrap collection to residents through the County's 25 Recycling Convenience Centers. This program will run through June 1, 2023 and is currently only offered at the Landfill Recycling Center. This is a free service and all food waste will be diverted from the landfill and made into compost.
