How to Obtain a Container

Black trash, blue recycling and green organic waste recycling containers are available for City-serviced customers and can be purchased online with a credit card. Containers can also be purchased with a credit card and picked up in person by visiting Environmental Services Department, Collection Services Division at 8353 Miramar Place, San Diego, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

City-issued containers are expected to have a lifespan of 10 years. If the container becomes defective before the 10-year warranty is up, a prorated fee will apply to the replacement. More information about customer container eligibility and standards of collection service can be found here.
