This "Learn About Day," we’re spotlighting how your food scraps help feed the soil in our communities.
Composting is one of the most effective ways to create a circular system by transforming waste into a valuable resource. Through American Organics, Athens turns food scraps, food-soiled paper, and yard waste into nutrient-rich compost that we distribute through free community giveaway events to support homes, gardens, parks, landscaping, and community programs across Southern California.
Every green bin collected helps divert waste from landfills and supports California’s SB 1383! Here’s two easy ways to help:
• Use your green bin for food scraps and yard waste
• Keep contamination OUT of green containers (no plastic or trash!)
