Trash collection in unincorporated San Diego County is provided by franchised haulers. Residents must subscribe to collection service. SB 1383 requires organic waste collection. Collection schedules and rules vary by hauler and community. Bins must be placed at curb on collection day.
The County contracts with franchised waste haulers to provide collection service in unincorporated areas. Residents must subscribe to trash collection service. Under California SB 1383, organic waste (food scraps, yard waste) must be separated and collected for composting. Most areas receive weekly pickup for trash, recycling, and organics. Bins must be placed at the curb by the scheduled collection time and retrieved by the end of collection day. Oversized items may require special pickup arrangements. Hazardous waste must be taken to designated collection facilities, not placed in regular trash. The County's Department of Public Works manages the franchise agreements.
Failure to subscribe to collection service or improper waste disposal may result in citations. SB 1383 violations may result in fines after a warning period.
