Dear Gonzales community, 

With the collaboration of Salinas Valley Recycles, we now have compost bins available! The implementation of this program helps turn our food scraps into compost that can enrich soil on our farms and in our home gardens while keeping waste out of the landfill. If you haven’t picked yours up yet, and are interested in receiving one, stop by City Hall to pick one up.
