Backyard Composting
We are committed to providing residents easy and affordable access to composting resources and education in order to achieve greater diversion of organics entering the landfill.
Compost Bin Voucher Program
The Compost Bin Voucher Program is year-round and provides City of San Diego residents with a discount on one of three styles of compost bins. One voucher per household, proof of residency required, while supplies last. Applications can be picked up at a Dixieline Lumber and Home Center location within City limits or through this link Compost Bin Voucher Application (Online Form).
