Resilient Palisades To Host Composting Workshop

PACIFIC PALISADES, CA — Want to learn more about composting, or looking for a ways to become more environmentally conscious around the house? Resilient Palisades will host a composting workshop on St. Patrick's Day, for a fittingly-scheduled informational session that will help you go green even after the holiday is over.

The club will be joined by Kenny Derieg, Westside Regional Hub Manager for LA Compost. Derieg will talk about the importance of composting, and give tips on how residents can get started with their own compost around the house.

The workshop will also touch on programs being offered by LA Compost, such as their weekly contact-free drop offs for people who want to get involved.

LA Compost was founded in 2013, with a mission to help communities see the harmful effects that organic waste was having on the environment. The next year, they began installing community compost hubs across the county, near gathering centers like churches, schools, gardens and workplaces.

According to the organization, LA Compost diverted 739,050 lbs of organic material from landfills in 2020.

The meeting will start on March 16 and run from 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. Community members can RSVP for the Zoom meeting here.
