So, You Want a Green Bin, Eh?
Fear not, fellow San Diegan! Obtaining a green bin is easier than wresting a fish taco from a seagull (though we wouldn't recommend trying either). Here's the lowdown:
The Goods: The city offers a variety of green bin sizes – 35 gallons, 65 gallons, and a whopping 95 gallons – to suit your organic waste disposal needs. Because, let's face it, some of us are serial banana peelers, while others are more like the occasional apple core kind of folks.
Gettin' Your Green On: There are two main ways to snag your green bin. Head over to the Get It Done app (because seriously, who doesn't love getting things done?) at
https://www.sandiego.gov/get-it-done
Pro Tip: Delivery is available for a small fee, but if you're feeling adventurous (and have a truck), you can pick up your bin yourself at the Collection Service Center. Just sayin'.
QuickTip: Save your favorite part of this post.
Hold Up, There's More!
Already on the Green Train?: If you're already rocking the automated green bin service (because you're awesome!), you can request additional bins if your current one is overflowing with dreams of becoming a compost king.
Apartment Aficionados: Living in an apartment complex? Don't despair! Contact your property manager. Many apartment buildings are already equipped with green bin programs, and if not, they might be interested in getting on board.
Remember: Knowledge is power, but a green bin is pretty darn empowering too. So go forth, San Diego, and conquer that food waste!
