Biosolids

What We Can Do For You!

Solid Resources Citywide Recycling Division (SRCRD) develops and implements effective and cost-effective source reduction, recycling, and re-use programs and policies. SRCRD provides technical assistance to City Departments, private sector businesses, multi-family complexes, and the community. The office fosters public/private recycling partnerships and helps to promote new markets for recyclable materials.

The City of Los Angeles recovers residues, known as biosolids, from its wastewater treatment plants. Strict quality control procedures and regulatory compliance with federal and local laws are followed for the production and use of biosolids. Some of the biosolids are used by farmers as a soil conditioner and some are mixed with green materials to produce compost.
