San Leandro celebrates the success of the Food Scrap Recycling Program by offering free compost to participating residents. The food scraps, food soiled paper, and yard trimmings that you put into your green yard trimmings cart are turned into a rich soil amendment that nourishes plants and keeps your garden healthy. 

Compost is only available during this two-day event. Residents may obtain a maximum of two bags per household. No preorders or rainchecks. You may only register for one appointment.  

APPOINTMENTS WILL BE REQUIRED. DROP-INS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.
