Compost will return this spring 2025: check back here
Starting May 1, 2024, the City of Sacramento is giving free compost to residents. The program is a way to give back to the community while meeting regulations required by Senate Bill 1383. This compost is a product of our curbside organics recycling program.
We do not currently have compost available. All compost available while supplies last.
Use compost in your garden or potted plants
No orders are currently being taken for compost. Please check back here in the April 2025 for more information.
Bagged compost is no longer available. Please check back in Spring 2025 for updates on bagged compost availability.
Recycled food scraps become compost
Compost is an excellent way to provide essential nutrients for vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees and can reduce or eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers. Using compost can also reduce water use and help improve soil health.
See below for how to use it in your garden, lawn, or potted plants.
