Last of the year free compost giveaway on October 17

On Friday, October 17, beginning at 7:00 am, it’s your last chance of the year to grab some free compost while supplies last! Appointments are not required.

Compost will be stored in debris boxes at Bedwell Bayfront Park entrance (1600 Marsh Rd., Menlo Park). Please bring your own shovels, gloves and containers to fill.

Everyone in San Mateo County is required to place all food and plant material into their green bin. The food scraps and yard trimmings are made into compost, which is used to enrich the soil of gardens, parks and farms.
