Food Waste Prevention
Individual actions matter in the global fight to end food waste. If every San Diegan saved just one pound of food from going to waste each month, in one year, San Diego County would save 40 million pounds of food from going to landfill. Learn more about what you can do.
Composting
Composting is an easy way to convert kitchen and yard waste into a nutrient-rich soil amendment and water-retaining mulch for your garden. Organic materials such as yard trimmings and food scraps make up a large portion of residential discarded resources. Learn how to turn these into healthy soil amendments by composting.
Water Conservation
We all play a part in the ongoing health of San Diego's beaches, rivers, lakes, and lagoons through responsible use of water. This can be done by preventing polluted rainwater runoff from entering our natural waterways, and instead, redirecting fresh rainwater to our plants that need it most. Learn more.
Recycle E-Waste
Electronic waste represents about 2% of the waste in America's landfills but equals around 70% of the overall toxic waste which can eventually pollute our groundwater supply. Be a responsible consumer by seeking out e-waste recycling instead of adding to the landfill. Learn more about our collection program.
