One of the best ways to feed your soil, conserve water, and grow healthier plants is to apply compost. Treat your plants and vegetables to FREE compost from one of the Livermore Compost Hubs.

Compost Hubs offer a large, communal pile of free compost for residents and the community, helping to "close the loop" on organic waste. Yard trimmings and food scraps are transformed into nutrient-rich compost, a natural soil amendment that supports healthy landscapes and edible crops. This service is free to all residents and is not restricted to those living in Livermore. Make sure to bring your own fillable containers. Compost is available during open hours listed below and is subject to availability.
