Recycle Or Else Survey

The City of San Diego wants to know more about your recycling practices and how you receive information on recycling. If you have a City-issued blue curbside recycling bin, please help us by taking this 5 to10 minute confidential survey. Your answers will be used to help the City of San Diego's Environmental Services Department determine the effectiveness of their recycling outreach programs.

Please remember, only take the survey if you have a City-provided blue curbside recycling bin at your residence.
