Food and Yard Waste Program Services
*Residential customers are invoiced on a bimonthly basis. The new monthly rate now includes your black trash cart, blue recycling cart and green organics cart in the same price. Rates are based on the size of your black trash cart.
We will no longer be servicing customer-owned carts. Single-family residential customers may request 1 additional green cart included in their monthly rate, at no additional cost, for a total of two green organics carts. If you would like to request this service, please call 619.421.9400. Any additional third green cart will be charged an additional monthly rental rate. Previous rental rates for green carts have been omitted and will no longer show on your invoice.
Residential Customers with commingled service (one container for both food and yard waste): Do NOT line green carts with plastic bags, even those labeled as "compostable" or "biodegradable." Due to the inconsistency of manufacturing, we cannot guarantee bags are "compostable" and can interfere with the composting process. Consider wrapping your food scraps and yard waste with food-soiled paper products.
Commercial Customers with source-separated food waste-only service: You may place food waste loosely or in clear/transparent bags in your food-waste-only container. These clear bags assist our team in identifying and removing any potential contamination. NO black bags.
Kitchen Caddy Distribution
Kitchen caddies are available for FREE for residential customers. They are a convenient way to transfer food waste from the kitchen to your green cart. Attend one of the following distribution events to receive yours (first-come, first-served basis, one per household)!
