Market Development For The Recycling Industry
San Diego is home to a growing recycling industry that employs
hundreds of local residents. To encourage this growth, legislative
policies have been adopted to give an advantage to manufacturers
that use recycled products. Many of these incentives are extended
through the creation of two Recycling Market Development Zones
(RMDZ) within San Diego County.
RMDZs are areas where manufacturers of recycled products and other
recycling companies are encouraged to locate their facilities.
RMDZ designation provides access to a state low-interest loan
program; permit, employee recruitment and siting assistance; and
other financial and business benefits. For more information about
RMDZ call Environmental Services at (858) 492-5010.
South San Diego RMDZ:
Established in 1992, this RMDZ is a cooperative effort by the
City and County of San Diego and the industrial community in Otay
Mesa. It covers approximately 6,300 acres of land and is located
in the Southern part of the City along the US/Mexico border. Businesses
operating in the Otay Mesa RMDZ also benefit from being in a state
designated Enterprise Zone and Foreign Trade Zone. This area also has competitive industrial
land prices and convenient access by land and air to California
and Mexico.
North County RMDZ:
Established in 1994, this RMDZ covers much of North San Diego
County, including the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Escondido,
Oceanside, Poway, San Diego, San Marcos, Solana Beach, Vista,
and unincorporated areas in San Diego County. The result is a
diversity of location opportunities, providing a variety of unique
settings able to satisfy almost any business' needs.
