Curbside recycling and curbside yard waste
recycling are two of the Department's most popular services. On November
17, 2001, the expansion of curbside recycling was completed citywide.
Environmental Services plans to expand greenery collection where yard
waste generation and participation rates make it economically efficient
to operate the service.

Automated Recycling Containers: Once Every Two Weeks Collection
The City of San Diego operates a commingled, automated curbside recycling
program that currently serves 276,000 residents with every-other week
collection service.
- This automated collection recycling program facilitates
convenient, safe, and cost-effective recycling and helps to
discourage scavenging of valuable recyclables.
- Residents not able to participate in curbside recycling, please see
recycling tips in Recycling
in Your Community.
Recycling Containers
The blue recycling containers are available in three sizes:
- Largest: 96 gallons
- Middle: 64 gallons
- Smallest: 32 gallons
For more information, call Customer Service at (858) 694-7000.
Container Setout
- Set the automated container in the street or alley, wheels against the curb, with the handle facing your home, by 7:00 a.m. on collection day.
- Make sure your container is at least three feet from other containers, parked cars,
lamp posts, trees, mailbox posts and any other obstructions so the collection truck can
access your container. Please remove your container by 6:00 p.m. on collection day.
Recycling Tips
- Please review the lists of what can be recycled and what can't be
recycled, carefully and do not place any trash in the recycling containers.
- Do not take containers with you if you move. They are the property of the City of San
Diego and are numerically registered to the address to which they are originally
delivered. Residents should record container numbers in case of theft.
- If you have additional questions, please call Environmental Services at (858) 694-7000.
