GRIFFITH PARK COMPOST FACILITY

The Griffith Park Compost Facility (GPCF) is located at 5400 Griffith Park Drive, Griffith Park, CA 90027. The GPCF began operations in 1996. It is designed to compost the unique organic matter produced in the regional park. Maintenance crews collect dropped leaves, lawn clippings, and trimmings from acres of landscaping.

Zoo Doo (animal droppings from the Los Angeles Zoo) and biosolids (processed residue from the Hyperion Wastewater Treatment Plant) are blended with chipped park greenery and composted.

Gardeners use the final product in the City parks to complete the recycling process.
