Garden Grove residents may receive up to 60 gallons of compost for free at the annual Compost Giveaway. The event takes place on Saturday, April 1, 2023, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., at the Garden Grove Municipal Service Center, located at 13802 Newhope Street.

Compost is limited to 60 gallons per household, until quantities run out, and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents must bring their own containers or buckets. Bags are not allowed. Proof of residency is required.

Residents must enter from A Better Way, accessible from Anabel Street, which is north of the Garden Grove Municipal Service Center.

The Garden Grove Sanitary District and Republic Services are hosting the compost giveaway as a way to say “thank you” to residents for participating in the state-mandated Organics Recycling program, enabling residents and businesses to recycle all food waste, food-soiled paper, and yard waste in an organics cart.
