Landlords are responsible for providing renters with a green bin to comply with California's composting law.
By law, all Los Angeles residents must toss their food waste into their homes’ green bins . Nevertheless, some renters are still wondering how they should dispose of their egg shells and banana peels.
Many renters in apartment complexes don’t have green bins, however, and were left wondering how they could participate in the program.The short answer is that their landlords should already be providing them access to a green bin., the city of Los Angeles uses private contractors to collect trash and provide recycling services at apartments and commercial buildings. Those contractors must provide green bins to all their customers, said Dan Meyers, manager of the RecycLA program.
Building owners who do not already have green bins can request them from their recycling service provider. Or they can contact the L.A. Sanitation Bureau’s 24-hour customer care center at 1-800-773-2489 to request that their service provider do an assessment to establish food waste service. If you are a tenant and your apartment complex doesn’t have a green bin, Meyers said, the city suggests that you ask your landlord or property manager to request bins for the buildings and “remind them that this is mandatory under state law.” It’s also helpful to state in your request that all or a majority of tenants are willing and wanting to participate.
