Curbside Organics Program |
|
Earlier this year, LA Sanitation and Environment (LASAN) launched curbside organic waste recycling for residents citywide. Mandated by CA Senate Bill 1383, residents serviced by LASAN are required to place food scraps and food-soiled paper, along with yard waste, in their green bin. LASAN will pick up the green bin weekly and the collection day will remain the same. The organic waste will be processed to create compost that can be used for gardening and agriculture.
Free food waste kitchen pails are available to LASAN customers. Residents serviced by the City’s recycLA program should work through their property management company to request for organics recycling service, if it is not already provided.
