Compost Giveaway

The self-serve compost station will return for one additional week in 2024:  

• Wednesday, September 11 - Thursday, September 19 

During this allotted time, it will be open 24/7 and will be refilled regularly. This year, the station will be located at the Los Altos Community Center parking lot (97 Hillview Avenue). 

Residents must supply their own containers and gloves and may load up to 32 gallons of compost (the equivalent of 2.5 standard kitchen garbage cans). Shovels are provided. Designated parking spaces are marked directly adjacent to the compost station.  

This program is open to Los Altos residents only and is not available for commercial use. Residents must complete a waiver prior to using the compost station. Hard copies will be available on site.
