Recycling Simple
Did you know that recycling your food waste helps
protect the environment and is required by SB 1383,
California’s organics recycling law? This measure
requires that all food waste and yard waste be placed
in your green organics cart.
These steps reduce waste, protect the environment,
and keep you in compliance. Small actions add up.
To keep things tidy, securely tie food waste in clear
or transparent bags before placing it in the cart.

Minimizing Food Waste This
Spring
Spring is the per fect time for fresh starts, and that
includes creating sustainable habits in the kitchen.
Here are a few easy ways to reduce food waste this
season:
Start a compost bin.
Give your fruit peels, coffee grounds, and yard
trimmings a second life by turning them into
nutrient‐rich compost for your garden.
Plan meals with seasonal produce.
Spring fruits and vegetables are at their peak in flavor
and often more affordable. Planning meals around
what’s in season helps ensure ever ything gets used.
Share any extras.
If you find yourself with more food than you need,
consider sharing with neighbors, friends, or family.
It’s a simple way to reduce waste and brighten
someone’s day.
By incorporating these small habits into your routine,
you can help reduce food waste and support a
healthier environment all season long.
