Why Recycle?Recycling saves money.
Implementing a recycling program can significantly lower your trash bills. Optimizing your waste stream will also result in cost savings. It’s the law. The City of San Diego Recycling Ordinance requires all residential and commercial buildings to actively participate in a recycling program. Failure to comply may result in fines from the City of San Diego. The Miramar Landfill is projected to close in 10 years, which means it will cost significantly more for trash service using privately owned landfills in the San Diego area. Everyone plays a role in minimizing their impact. Do your part to help the environment. |
