Is turning and sifting a compost pile calling your name? You can help make the composting magic happen by helping to maintain one of our compost hubs through out LA.

Mild to moderate physical activities. Yes, you’ll get a little dirty.

No prior experience necessary.

Opportunities across the city, multiple times a week.

Engage with community members as they drop off materials, guide them through new procedures if they are unfamiliar, and monitor for contamination. Answer questions about compost sales if they arise. Will be trained and briefed on-site the day of.

An LA Compost team member will be onsite to move filled bins and attend to other tasks. Our compost community has done an excellent job so far of respecting space, wearing masks, and staying safe. Volunteers should be prepared to be standing up for the majority of the time, however, sitting will be available.

No prior compost experience is necessary.

There are several other ways you can volunteer that happen on a less frequent basis. These include compost workshops, hub builds, and community event tabling.

Some standing, very moderate physical activity.

Great for volunteers that enjoy talking and engaging with community.

Opportunities as special events arise.

Bring your colleagues, club, school, or faith-based organization for a meaningful day of volunteering. Email Elena Lopez at elena@lacompost.org to get in touch regarding a group of four volunteers or more.
