 Community
Cleanups, provided by the City through the Environmental Services Department,
are designed to help San Diegans properly dispose or recycle bulky items
that do not fit in the City's refuse collection or curbside recycling
containers.
More than 70 events are held each year thanks to sponsorship from the
Department and community groups. The events are held at different locations
throughout the City in order to service as many areas as possible. Each
Community Cleanup Event collects approximately 25 tons of trash and nine
tons of recyclables, preventing garbage from being thrown into the streets
or illegally dumped.
Once an area is selected, a Solid Waste Code Enforcement member works
with the neighborhood group(s) to distribute fliers informing of the cleanup
date, time and guidelines.
