Getting Started

Not sure how to get started? Food scrap composting is very easy.

Separate the accepted food scrap items from other trash and place in either a compostable bag (available the Department of Public Works for free) or in a container with a closed lid (for example - empty coffee containers with sealing lids are great for this).
Once it gets full, bring the food scraps to the designated drop-off area at Davis Hall or during the farmers markets

Collect your food scraps and bring them to:

Hollywood & Downtown Farmers Markets (click for details)
Hollywood Shopping Center & City Hall

Commercial food scraps are not accepted. Businesses should contact a local waste hauler who provide this service.
