Curbside Yard Waste Recycling
The Environmental Services Department Curbside Yard Waste Recycling Program
currently serves 202,000 City of San Diego households. 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. Mulch is free!
Does your neighborhood have curbside
yard waste recycling?
Visit Refuse,
Recycling and Yard Waste Collection Schedules for Your Address. 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.
