Batteries may be small, but they contain materials that can harm people and the environment if they are not handled properly. That’s why batteries are considered household hazardous waste (HHW) and should never be placed in your garbage, recycling, or organics cart.

Do you know the "rules" of food product date labeling? "Sell by" is going away - doesn't mean anything for the end-user. "Best by" is a quality statement. Trust your senses to get more from your grocery budget!

The state has changed and simplified food labeling laws.

In-ground composting is a super-easy way to keep food scrap nutrients in your landscape, without a lot of work.
Direct Feed: Worms and soil microbes travel in and out of the holes in the buried bin, breaking down food waste and delivering fertilizer right to the root zone...
Odor & Pest Control: Because the organic matter is buried underground and covered with a secure lid, it stays discreet, odor-free, and protected from animals...
Low Maintenance: You do not need to turn a heavy pile or harvest finished compost manually; the soil and worms process the waste in place.
Just pay attention to your curbside service provider's "accepted" organics materials as a guide for what to put in it.

Show your local waterway some love this Saturday. Even if you're not near a beach, remember the Bay begins at your front door; every bit of trash you pick up or prevent in your neighborhood will help your local creek, stream, river, estuary, and of course, the Bay. Thank you for doing your part!

Knowing what you have and having a plan to use it up helps you save time and food - saving both saves you $$$$

When possible, storing similar items together can help them from getting lost and make planning meals and snacks easier. It’s just like sheep herding so nobody gets lost, sort of. Consider organizing your fridge and pantry into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack sections. Try different approaches to organizing your food that matches the way your household consumes so no items get lost. Find even more ways to take climate action at, www.paloalto.gov/foodwaste
