Learn How to Recycle Your Food Waste ~ It's the Law! January 18, 2022, 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM
Senate Bill (SB) 1383 goes into effect in January 2022. This law requires organic materials like food waste to go someplace other than a landfill. To learn more about this law and ways to comply, join the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, Los Angeles County Public Works and CalRecycle for a free virtual workshop on January 18, 2022, from 9 to 10 a.m. PST.
The workshop will feature a brief presentation followed by a session where you can ask your questions and a panel of experts from CalRecycle, LA County Public Works, and the Sanitation Districts will respond. This workshop is geared towards waste haulers, cities, and other entities looking to comply with SB 1383.

Volunteers for our neighborhood/area are needed for the evening of January 25, 2022. Please sign up at https://www.theycountwillyou.org/, enter zip/city/community name, then click on the option you prefer. You will be directed to a form to fill in for the Count. You can sign up as a "team" with a family member(s) or friend(s) due to COVID.
This year a phone-based app will be used instead of the usual checklists.
PURPOSE of the Point-in-Time Homeless Count: Every two years, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires communities to conduct a Point-in-Time (PIT) Count of individuals, youth, and families experiencing homelessness and provide accompanying data. A “snapshot” of homelessness (both sheltered and unsheltered) in our community and nationally.
Locally, the data helps: Inform program, policy, funding, and system design decisions Measure progress in decreasing homelessness Increase public awareness Advocate for additional resources in our effort to end homelessness countywide.
How this Count will be Different: This count is significant since the January 2021 count was not done due to COVID. This upcoming count is different than in years past as it will rely more on technology for recruitment, training, deployment of volunteers, and reporting of data to minimize exposure to COVID.
A successful count is dependent on community participation; however, volunteers will not be randomly placed together as in previous years. It is hoped that volunteers who know each other, workgroups, or family groups will volunteer together as “social pods”.
