City officials are hoping that participants in the table-scrap collection program will embrace the idea of separating their kitchen waste by dumping it in the new city-issued green pail and later emptying that pail in the city’s green 60-gallon curbside bin, which collects leaves, tree branches and other green waste.

I compost at home and it drastically reduces the amount of waste that I’m sending to a landfill or whereever. Urban cities like Los Angeles really need to look at how to change their waste cycle. Recycling is great, but it’s not enough

A bunch of other cities, like some in San Francisco, have composting programs and they’re fantastic. it’s hard to remember right away, but once you get in the habit, you wonder why everyone doesn’t do it.

Do it, LA.
