The City of Manhattan Beach in partnership with Waste Management is offering a FREE one-hour backyard composting and curbside food waste recycling workshop on Saturday, October 12th at 10:00 AM at the Manhattan Beach Botanical Garden (located at 1237 N. Peck Avenue, in the southwest corner of Polliwog Park). All are welcome to attend!

We'll show you the right way to set up a composting bin or a worm bin, and how simple it is to recycle many organic materials right in your own backyard.  The workshop will also include instruction on participating in the City's curbside food scrap recycling program.  The session will conclude with a time for Q & A.  Composting and worm bins will be available for purchase for Manhattan Beach residents only at the event for $35 (cash or checks accepted, please bring proof of residency). 

If you are a resident of Manhattan Beach and can't join us for the event, please contact Waste Management directly at (310) 830-7100 to order your $35 discounted bin year round (Waste Management will charge you directly for the $35).  For more information on backyard composting and the curbside food waste recycling program, please visit the City's Organics (Food and Yard Waste) and Backyard Composting page.
