Curbside Yard Waste Recycling
The Environmental Services Department Curbside Yard Waste Recycling
Program currently serves 202,000 City of San Diego households. If it is
available in your area (see link below to find out) acceptable yard waste
is to be placed in the appropiate container and left in the designated
trash collection area outside your property.
Recycling greens is essential to lengthening the life of the landfill.
In fact, over three cubic yards of landfill are saved for every ton of
greens recycled! By recycling your greens you help the City produce useful
compost, mulch and wood chips that are available at the Miramar Greenery.
What Green Waste Can I Recycle in my Yard
Waste Container?
Does your neighborhood have curbside
yard waste recycling?
If
not, you can still recycle your greens by bringing them to the Miramar
Greenery.
How to Recycle Greenery
To participate in the curbside recycling program, put yard waste into
32- or 45-gallon trash containers, or a white nylon 65-gallon reusable
bag. Never use plastic bags. The plastic contaminates
the mulch and compost that is made from the greenery and greatly decreases
its marketability.
