Public Works

This year, cleaning the coast will start at our own front doors.

In light of the compost not arriving during our August event, the City of Mission Viejo, in partnership with Waste Management, is hosting a second event on Saturday, October 10th. The FREE compost will be dropped off at the back of the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter's parking lot (28095 Hillcrest). Mission Viejo residents are welcome to bring their own shovel plus a bag or container and fill it up with fresh, healthy compost for their garden. Residents may stop by any time after 11:00 a.m., but please note compost will only be available while supplies last.

This workshop is at capacity. We will be hosting another composting workshop in spring of 2021.

The City and Waste Management are teaming up to host a free composting workshop at 10 am on Saturday, October 3rd in the Kershaw Garden at Mission Viejo City Hall.

Mission Viejo residents and businesses can destroy their sensitive documents during the free drive-through Document Shredding event on Saturday, September 12.

Hosted by Waste Management and the City Public Works Department, the event is from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the Mission Viejo City Hall parking lot at 200 Civic Center.

Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the nation, and shredding documents with personal or financial information can be an effective measure of prevention.

Free compost is available for Mission Viejo residents in the parking lot of the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center starting at 11 am on Saturday, August 15 while supplies last.

Composting is the recycling of organic materials back into a valuable soil product that may be used in gardens or on potted plants – which can save you money, time and reduce your garden’s watering and weeding needs. It also benefits the environment by recycling vital organic resources and extending the life of our landfills.
