Food scraps composting with “ROT” overlay

🌿 R Words of Zero Waste: A Path to Sustainability 🌿
ROT! ♻️ Rot here refers to composting which is the process of transforming food scraps and yard waste into nutrient-rich soil. Keeping organics out of landfills is a top priority for California—composting reduces greenhouse gases and supports local farmers.

🚛 Curbside Organics Collection: Under SB 1383, California law now requires organic waste recycling. Many High Desert communities offer curbside organics pickup. If your city or town provides it, please make sure all your food scraps get composted!
