| | | City of Solana Beach WEEKLY UPDATE February 20, 2026 | |
| Free Compost Hub Now Available! | | | | Solana Beach has a new Community Compost Hub! EDCO collects organic waste that comes from your green bins at home and transforms it into a nutrient-rich compost. Bring your own shovel and fillable container to the City's Public Works Yard at 1764 Highland Drive and grab some compost for free! The Compost Hub is open Monday - Thursday, 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM. Adding compost to your plants and garden enhances soil fertility, increases water retention, and reduces erosion. Find out what you can and can’t put in your green bins to get the most out of your compost by clicking the link below. | | Solana Beach Civic & Historical Society Scholarship | | | | The Solana Beach Civic & Historical Society knows education can be expensive and is awarding two scholarships of $3,500 each to assist Solana Beach students in financing their college, graduate school, or technical school tuition.
