Quarterly Compost Giveaway
Santa Monica Public Works: Resource Recovery & Recycling Division, 2500 Michigan Ave, Santa Monica, CA | Get Directions »
FREE
Compost has been recognized as a valuable soil amendment for centuries. Use of compost in gardens is an effective way to improve soil health, increase plant production, and reduce the use of water, chemical fertilizers and pesticides. To thank Santa Monica residents for participating in the city’s green cart collection program, every resident qualifies for up to five large burlap coffee sacks of nutrient- rich compost, free of charge. Please bring a shovel, gloves and your own bags or containers if you prefer them to the burlap sacks.
The giveaway will last until all of the compost is gone.
