Is your Vacation Rental following the San Diego Recycling Zero Waste Plan?

Since July 1, 2012, California state law requires apartment and condo complexes with five or more units to recycle.

In addition, the City Recycling Ordinance also requires recycling at:

  • All single-family homes;
  • All apartments and condominiums services by the City; and
  • All privately serviced businesses, commercial/institutional facilities, apartments, and condominiums generating four or more cubic yards of trash per week.

The City’s Zero Waste Plan was approved and adopted unanimously by the City Council on July 13, 2015. The Zero Waste Plan lays out strategies to divert 75 percent of all trash by 2020, 90 percent diversion by 2035, and the ultimate goal of zero waste by 2040.

Be sure to pass these recycling guidelines to who’s in charge of your property cleaning. Vacation Property Maids proudly align with San Diego’s Zero Waste Plan and helps vacation property owners comply with the ZWP and avoid fines by the city.
