On Sunday, March 5, the Brentwood Community Council (BCC) joined hands with the Los Angeles Sanitation and Environment (LASAN) and volunteers from The Archer School for Girls to distribute around 400 kitchen pails for composting to the residents of Los Angeles. The event took place at the Brentwood Farmers Market.
The BCC expressed its gratitude to the 12 volunteers from The Archer School for Girls.
“We were so thrilled with our student volunteers, and cannot thank them enough for spending their Sunday participating in community service!” the BCC said.
The event also welcomed a surprise visit from Los Angeles City Councilwoman Traci Park, who was accompanied by members from her office.
“We distributed more than 400 pails, and it was great to see so many people interested in composting and sustainability. Fun fact: The compost generated from these pails is used in our city parks! Let’s continue working together to make our city greener and keep food waste out of our landfills,” Park said.
The event aimed to spread awareness about composting and how it can help in reducing waste. The BCC urged the residents of L.A. to make use of the green bin for composting, which can now accommodate more than just yard clippings.
