How Does It Work?
San Diego doesn't collect recycling every week — it alternates. The city splits the calendar into "A" weeks and "B" weeks.
Your address is assigned to one. On your recycling week, put out the blue bin alongside your regular trash and organics bins.
On your off week? Only trash (black) and organics (green) get collected. Hold your recyclables for next week.
