PALMDALE, CA - The City of Palmdale is excited to invite residents to participate in an educational workshop focused on organics recycling and compliance with State Senate Bill 1383.

• Gain insights into SB 1383 and its role in waste reduction efforts.
• Engage with City staff and ask questions related to solid waste management.

It is crucial that our community engages with this initiative by partaking in this workshop to gain an understanding of the regulations and to take meaningful action."

All attendees will receive a complimentary kitchen counter food pail. Additionally, participants can enter a giveaway to win a family four-pack of DryTown All-Access Season Passes valued at $340.
