Compost creates healthier soil by adding organic matter and improving soil structure. Healthy soil uses water more efficiently, allowing available water to flow toward your plants’ roots, storing water in the soil longer, and reducing runoff and erosion.

The City of Villa Park and Republic Services will be giving away compost for free on Saturday, April 22, 2023 from 8am-12pm at Villa Park High School. On the day of the event, please bring your own containers or buckets for Republic Services staff to fill with compost.

To receive free compost at this event, residents must provide proof of residency (California driver’s license or utility bill). There is a limit of 60 gallons of compost per household. For more information, contact Republic Services at 800.700.8610.

As required by state law SB 1383, the City of Villa Park has launched an organic recycling program in partnership with the City's waste hauler, Republic Services. Beginning January 1, 2023, residents can place organic waste, such as food scraps and yard trimmings, in your existing brown yard waste cart.

Inflation Town Hall Resources

Beneath the surface of the ground, hidden from view, are gas lines, water lines, cable lines, and other utilities. If you don’t know exactly where they are, your digging could cause disruption to services, harm to the general public, injuries, or even an explosion. By using direct.digalert.org, you begin the process of notifying DigAlert members who own underground utilities and have requested notification within the area of your planned excavation.

 

If you are undergoing work on your property that could affect utility infrastructure, make sure that you are in compliance with the City, in contact with utility providers, and in communication with neighbors who may be affected by the work. DigAlert is one resource that can help facilitate the communication necessary to prevent an accident.
