Well this is embarrassing. 

​

You have landed on the page where all of our love for recycling really comes through, and unfortunately right now is the bulk of what is still under construction. 

​

On this page we hope that you will be able to find the area of San Diego you call home - and all the ins and outs of what can and can't be tossed into your blue bin. 

For example, did you know if you're on the coastal areas of San Diego you can't put your recycling in a plastic garbage bag?

​​

And what's with bubble wrap? It's not a bag, but feels like one, can I recycle it?​ and for that matter what about styrofoam? 

​

We'll also confirm once and for al about what to do with batteries, both the alkaline (like AAs) and litium (like in your cell phone). 

​

Have you been Insta-zapped by Getridwell? Ridwell is a service that is now available in the San Diego area and claims to offer recycling for hard-to-recycle plastics. But what are those plastics, why are they hard to recycle, and would it be a good service fit for your family? We'll do the deep digging so you can make a well-informed choice.
