SAN DIEGO–Starting this month, the City of San Diego will begin implementing its new Organic Waste Recycling program for its residents.
The program is the product of SB 1383, passed in 2016 and effective in January 2022. One of the goals of the law is to divert 50 percent of organic waste from landfills below 2014 level by 2020 and 75 percent by 2025.
San Diego’s Environmental Services department will provide kitchen pails and green recycling bins to over 267,000 residences starting this month in a phased program. It is expected that all residents will have access to these bins by the end of August 2023.
