Compost center closed for holiday

Hiatus on July 16 as well


Las Virgenes Municipal Water District said the Rancho Las Virgenes Compost Facility will be closed Sat., July 2 and 16. Normal pickup hours will be available on Sat., July 9.

The July 2 closure is in conjunction with the observance of the Independence Day weekend.

The July 16 closure is connected to traffic considerations associated with the closing of the 405 Freeway for construction during the weekend of July 15 to 17.

“ The closing of I- 405 is expected to put a strain on the canyon routes, including Malibu Canyon,” water district general manager John Mundy said.

“Knowing how popular the free compost program is, we don’t want to add to the anticipated traffic congestion that is expected during the weekend of July 16.”

The LVMWD Community Compost giveaway program will resume its normal Saturday schedule on July 23, when compost will again be available from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
