Home composting is allowed in Redondo Beach, and under California SB 1383 the City provides curbside organics (food and yard waste) collection that residents are required to use to keep organic material out of landfills.
Backyard composting of yard trimmings and food scraps is permitted in Redondo Beach as long as it does not create odor, vermin, or stagnant-water nuisances under the City's sanitation code. To comply with California's SB 1383 organic-waste recycling mandate, the City provides organics (green/food waste) curbside collection, and residents and businesses must separate organic waste rather than placing it in the trash. The City and West Basin also promote water-wise landscaping that pairs with mulching and composting to retain soil moisture. Compost piles should be contained and maintained to avoid attracting rodents.
Compost that creates odor, vermin, or standing-water nuisances can be cited under the sanitation code; failing to separate organics can lead to SB 1383 compliance enforcement.
