Pick Up Free Organic Compost

The self-service organic compost pile is now available Holbrook Palmer Park! Residents and their gardeners are encouraged to bring their own containers, shovels, and gloves to collect the free compost to apply in Atherton landscapes. The organic compost is the product of Atherton’s green bin – turning yard waste into a productive material that promotes healthy soils while capturing and storing short-lived climate pollutants. The pile will be regularly restocked by GreenWaste with their highest quality product. This effort is part of the Town meeting its commitment to procure 552 tons of compost, under the State’s SB 1383 requirement.

Happy Gardening!
