Compost Distributions

Get compost at no cost:

Join a Compost Co-op:

Joining one of LA Compost’s Co-ops gives you access to a community of composters, flexible food scrap drop off access, as well as finished compost when it is ready.

Where: Throughout LA County.

When: Twice per year, varies by location.

Compost access: Members are notified via email when their co-op’s compost is ready for pickup.

Farmers’ Market Distributions:

Meet us at the market! At the start of every season, we distribute small amounts of free compost to the community to support plants and gardens.

Where: Participating farmers’ markets.

When: Four times per year, at the start of each season.

Compost access: Stay updated on Instagram for announcements and reminders on distributions or view the Events Calendar.

Regional Hub Compost Distributions:

It’s as easy as signing up, showing up, and sift! Bring your own container to take home locally-created compost, sifted by you!

What is sifting?: Sifting is the process of moving finished compost through a fine mesh sifter so it becomes a finer product ready for mixing with soil or adding to plants.

Where: LA Compost Regional Compost Hubs

When: Monthly at a rotation of sites.

Compost access: Stay updated on Instagram for announcements and reminders on distributions. Advance registration preferred.
