Celebrating Earth Day with sustainable actions for a cleaner, greener community.

This year we are hosting an open house during International Compost Awareness Week!

Please join us at Blue Line Transfer Station, 500 E. Jamie Ct. in So. San Francisco, on Sunday, May 3, 2026 from 10am to 1pm. Please carpool, walk, or bike (we’re on the Bay Trail!) as parking is limited. This event will happen rain or shine.

We will be:

  • Offering tours of our anaerobic digestion facility (Where your food waste is transformed into fuel!)
  • Giving away free compost (Limit of 5 gallons per family. Please bring your own buckets or bags.)
  • Leading activities for kids (Such as book readings, face painting, touch-a-truck opportunities, and more.)
  • Demonstrating correct waste sorting
  • Providing information on home composting
