Before you drop off your scraps, please review our Food Scrap Guidelines to ensure you’re including only acceptable items. Contamination disrupts the composting process and impacts the quality of the final product. By sticking to the guidelines, you’re contributing to nutrient-rich, biocomplete compost that supports healthy soil and thriving plants across Isla Vista!

Important Reminder:
Place your food scraps in the designated drop-off bins—not directly in the compost piles. This allows our team to inspect donations for contaminants before adding them to the composting process. Following this simple step helps us maintain the integrity of our compost and ensures a sustainable process for the community.

Artistic bins with instructions: Use designated bins, not the piles.
