Senate Bill 1383 is a statewide mandate aiming to keep organic waste out of landfills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Residents are now required to put food scraps in green trash bins. LA Sanitation will provide a kitchen pail (while supplies last) to help residents get started on recycling food scraps. You must schedule a pickup appointment by visiting www.lacitysan.org/organics.
Items that can be composted include:
- fruits, vegetables
- dairy, eggshells
- bread, cereal, grains, rice, pasta, beans
- meat, bone, fish, shells
- coffee grounds and filters
- food-soiled paper products
- yard waste, flowers, and clean untreated wood
