Mill Valley's Curbside Compost Pickup Service

Presenters include Stephanie Moulton-Peters, Mayor of the Mill Valley; Carol Misseldine, Sustainability Director for the City of Mill Valley; Jim Iavarone, Managing Partner at Mill Valley Refuse Service; Joan Irwin, Marin Master Gardener; and Jessica Jones, Manager of Redwood Landfill.
