How Do We Compost in LA?
from How To LA Hosted by LAist Studios
#94: Are you all composting at home? Well, you should be, because we're now kind of required to by law! California’s landmark composting mandate went into effect in January of 2022. It states that all residents and businesses must separate “green waste” from other trash. To comply, LA developed a new composting program called “organics recycling,” but roll out has been complex, especially for multifamily residences. Today, How To LA and LAist's climate emergency reporter, Erin Stone, go to Park La Brea Apartments – the largest apartment complex on the West coast – to see how they're making composting happen for their renters. Guests: Aryn Thomez, VP of property management at Park La Brea Apartments; Jessica Aldridge, director of sustainability at Athens Services; Erin Stone, climate emergency reporter for LAist. Check out Erin's reporting on the roll out of the composting program. And check out Athens Services guides on properly composting and recycling.
