Yard Trimmings & Food Scraps

California Senate Bill 1383 requires residents and businesses to reduce organic material sent to the landfill. When organic material (yard trimmings and food scraps) decomposes in landfills, it releases methane, a harmful gas that traps the sun's heat and contributes to climate change. Recycling organic material will result in compost or clean energy and will help reduce the impact of climate change. You can help by putting your yard trimmings and food scraps in the green cart.
