The Future Of Organics Recycling In Poway

From the City of Poway:

Posted on January 30, 2020

One third of what goes to the landfill is organic waste and nearly half that is food. Organic waste also includes yard trimmings, untreated wood, and paper products.

Join the City of Poway for an organics recycling workshop and learn how new recycling regulations, such as SB 1383, will affect waste and recycling services in Poway. This hour-long workshop will be held at the Poway Library on Feb. 11 at 6:30.

While the workshop will cover what to expect in the future for organic waste recycling, it will also provide tips on how to reduce food waste, and how to master backyard composting.

A family of four spends on average $1,500 per year on the food they don’t eat, but that cost can be reduced through careful meal planning. It’s a strategy that reduces food waste, saves money and time, and promotes healthier eating.

Learn how grass clippings, peppers, banana peels, apple cores, and coffee grounds all help compost piles thrive. And find out how to properly dispose of yard trimmings, also known as green waste, grass clippings, landscape debris, or plant waste.

Residents are encouraged to attend, participate in the discussion, ask questions, and provide feedback.
