Athens Services is partnering with your city to implement food scrap collection for single-family home residents and multifamily complexes. Per Senate Bill 1383, single-family home residents and multifamily complexes across California will be required to place into their green waste container ALL of their landscaping waste, food scraps, and food-soiled paper (100% fiber-based).
WHY ORGANICS RECYCLING?
Landfills are the third-largest source of methane in California. Organics waste emits 20% of the state's methane; a climate super pollutant up to 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide. By diverting organics from the landfill, you are part of the solution in helping to protect the environment and future generations.
DID YOU SAY FOOD SCRAPS?
Yes, Athens will accept all types of food scraps. Our American Organics compost facility converts organic waste into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. The resulting compost is used by commercial farmers, city projects, garden shops, landscapers, and residents.
WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION?
Athens is here to support the community with this new program and will provide resources and training to help you get started.
If you have any questions about the new organics collection program, please contact the Athens Customer Care Center at (888) 336-6100 or visit AthensServices.com/SB-1383.
