Malibu rolls out the virtual mat for eco-conscious citizens with an upcoming digital dive into organic waste recycling. Slated for January 17 at 7 PM, the City of Malibu is set to host an online workshop, schooling residents on the dos and don'ts of compostable trash tossing. Per a press release picked up by Malibu's website, those who join the webinar get a sweet deal – a handy kitchen scraps caddy, on the house.

The program aims to spotlight the local commitment to curbing climate change and preserving natural beauty. To instill this 'green' routine in households, Malibu has laid out plans to award a free 1.9-gallon caddy to each webinar attendee, with a limit of one per Malibu household, a gesture poised to make kitchen composting a cinch for the eco-forward folk.

The online event is part of a bigger picture, with the City leveraging state grant funds under the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program to propel the organic waste recycling initiative. Malibu's residents are encouraged to grab their digital seats here. After completing the workshop, residents can snag their complimentary caddy by reaching out to the Environmental Programs staff, as detailed in Malibu's official announcement.

The City's also cooked up a Zero Waste Guide, a free resource detailing the ins and outs of sorting scraps like a pro. It’s available for the picking on Malibu’s website, serving as a primer for responsible refuse handling. Each local waste hauler's got their own set of guidelines for dealing with disposals, featured on their respective websites, something that's been underscored in the City's alert.
