Black trash containers and blue recycling bins are available for sale from the City of San Diego. The two container sizes for sale are a 95-gallon (most popular) and a 65-gallon container.
New green containers for organic waste recycling will soon be available. If you have never been issued a City-provided green bin, one will be delivered to your residence free of charge. Depending on your property, you will receive a 95-gallon, 65-gallon, or 35-gallon green bin. Households are only eligible to exchange container sizes and request additional green containers after they have started their new organic waste recycling collection service.
