Compost curbside

The easiest way to begin composting

Do you have a green bin? Did you know you can throw your food scraps and food-soiled paper directly into it and the City of LA will take care of the rest?

Items that can be thrown into the green bin include:

• Fruits, vegetables

• Dairy, eggshells

• Stale bread, cereal, grains, rice, pasta, beans

• Old lunch meat, steak and chicken bones, fish bones, shells

• Coffee grounds and used paper coffee filters

• Food soiled paper products (e.g., used paper napkins, soiled pizza boxes)

• Yard trimmings, flowers, and clean untreated wood
