The City of San Diego's Environmental Services Department (ESD) has partnered with the Metropolitan Area Advisory Committee on Anti-Poverty of San Diego County, Inc. (MAAC) to launch a financial assistance program designed to assist property owners subject to the Solid Waste Management Fee who demonstrate financial need, including households that meet income-based eligibility criteria or participate in qualifying assistance programs.

To receive assistance, a property owner must apply for the program and receive approval. Assistance requires an application and will awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to available funding.

MAAC will offer optional, in-person clinics to assist property owners with submitting their applications. For dates and locations of these events, more information about the program—including eligibility requirements—or to access the application, please visit the MAAC website.
