For additional organic waste/ green bin requests, customers must either be on an automated Greens route or on a new Organics route. Customers who currently do not have an automated greens yard waste recycling service and/or who have not been switched to an Organic Waste Recycling route will not be eligible for an additional organic waste/ green container until organics pick-up has started for your address.
The Request for Additional Containers is a three-step process. Below is a general overview of each step.
- Address Search: Search for your site by entering your address in the Additional Container Form.
- Choose Containers: Place your order for greens/ organics containers and choose the delivery method to identify if you’d like containers delivered for an additional fee ($25 per container) or self-pickup from Collection Service at 8353 Miramar Place, San Diego.
Once these first two steps are complete, your request will go through an eligibility process to determine if your property supports an additional container. You will be contacted by email regarding eligibility status and next steps.
- Purchase: If eligibility is approved, you will receive an email with purchase instructions.
For any questions or issues, please call 858-694-7000 or email trash@sandiego.gov
