Getting Started

Not sure how to get started? Food scrap composting is very easy.

Separate the accepted food scrap items from other trash and place in either a compostable bag (available the Department of Public Works for free) or in a container with a closed lid (for example - empty coffee containers with sealing lids are great for this).
Once it gets full, bring the food scraps to the designated drop-off area at Davis Hall, the Old Town Playground and Community Garden, or during the Hollywood Farmers Market.

Collect your food scraps and bring them to:

The Department of Public Works
9217 51st Avenue - 24/7

Old Town Playground & Community Garden
7504 Columbia Avenue - 24/7

Hollywood Farmers Markets (click for details)
Hollywood Shopping Center (seasonal)

Commercial food scraps are not accepted. Businesses should contact a local waste hauler who provide this service.
