Curbside Organics Recycling Program

OrganicsLA is a curbside recycling program from the City of LA to keep organic waste out of landfills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Senate Bill 1383 requires every jurisdiction in the state to provide organic waste collection service. The bill now requires residents to place food scraps and food-soiled paper, along with yard waste, in their green bin.

To help residents start collecting food scraps, the city is providing two-gallon kitchen pails. Details: https://tinyurl.com/organic-waste-pales
