Compost pickup
While Sunnyvale and Mountain View residents can still pick up free compost and mulch at the Sunnyvale SMaRT Station at 301 Carl Road, there’s now a second pickup location at Charles Street Gardens, 433 Charles St. in Sunnyvale. This compost is organic, made from local yard trimmings, and certified by the U.S. Composting Council.
Residents can pick up as much as 200 gallons per person per week in the gardens’ parking lot. The site is open daily. Bring your own shovel and container.
