Did you know, that City of Burbank has a composting program?

The program started back in 1989 and through this program Burbank has been able to keep 50% of it’s waste from making it to the landfills!

Composting is the process where living organisms turn organic waste and yard waste into a rich amendment that you can use in your yard to naturally fertilize your soil.

What’s great is that residents are eligible to receive free composting instruction through workshops and a free composter!

The workshops cover topics ranging from how and what to compost to Xeriscape(minimal water usuage) landscaping!  Trust me I did not know what the meaning of Xeriscape was either!
If you are interested in getting started, please call City of Burbank Recycle Center at 818-238-3900.
