Composting is Now the Law

Composting is the law as of January 1, 2022

Please remember to place yard waste, food scraps and food-soiled paper towels and napkins in your green organics cart. Composting this material instead of sending it to the landfill helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and it can also be used to create a nutrient-rich compost. 

Call 408-842-3358 to speak with a Waste Zero Specialist about Recology’s programs and for support including staff trainings, educational materials and free food scrap recycling containers.
