Compost Hub

We are open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10AM–5PM.

Compost Hubs are sites that offer free compost to residents and provide educational resources on making and using compost. This service is free to all residents, and is not restricted to those living in Alameda County or in specific cities. Make sure to bring your own fillable containers. Compost Hubs are located at urban farms and spaces managed by community organizations, so make sure to check in and learn about the other services and volunteer opportunities they offer!

Compost Hub sign saying: "Everyone is welcome to come in and take free compost" with instructions of when to know if the farm is open: "If the chain is locked to itself, the farm is closed, if it's locked to the fence, it's open!"

Please read everything below:
