ORGANIC MATERIAL
SORTING & PROCESSING
Emily Aurangzeb
Environmental Outreach Coordinator
1 Why divert organics from the landfill?
January 1, 2022, Senate Bill 1383 was implemented to
reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants.
Requires every jurisdiction to provide organic materials collection services to all residents and businesses.
When food scraps and yard trimmings are
buried and compressed in a landfill, they
decompose without oxygen, which
produces methane.

3 How Does It Get Processed?
s
Keith Day Organic Windrow Composting
Landfill facility takes in about
600,000 tons of solid waste each
year. About a third is food waste
that doesn’t get sorted out.
Compost products - topsoil
blends, compost, mulch and more
4 These all go in your green organics cart or dumpster! Yard Trimmings

(commercial
stream only)
5 • Clean your compost cart with white vinegar
to clear lingering odors.
• To reduce smells and deter unwanted pests,
freeze food scraps and dump the night before
your pick up day.
• Layer yard trimmings or sprinkle baking soda
at the bottom of your organics container or kitchen
pail to avoid food scraps sticking to the bottom.
• If possible, keep your container in a cool, shaded area to avoid further unpleasant smells and the attraction of unwanted pests.
Tips for Composting
6 You have the power to make a difference!
We are all environmental ambassadors.
● Hold each other accountable
● Create behavioral change
● Report contamination or overflows
● Keep people and the environment safe
