Sonora Refillery

Why Refill?

Most plastics are petroleum (aka crude oil) based. Yup. Everyday we produce single-use petroleum waste at an alarming rate, and very little of it gets recycled. Plastics that are not recycled can break up into tiny pieces called micro plastics. Micro plastics and micro-beads are tiny particles of plastic that can pass through water filtration systems. Plastics also release harmful chemicals that can cause health problems in humans and animals. These chemicals can also seep into the ground, groundwater, and eventually into local waterways.

How to Refill

1

Bring a Container or Buy a Container

Any cleaned out container can be filled or refilled

2

Weigh Your Container

Tare or pre-weigh the container you wish to fill

3

Fill with Your Favorite Products

Get as much or as little as you desire

4

Customize if Available

Some of the refillable products are bases and include customization with food-grade essential oils, organic dried flowers, or precious stones and minerals from the earth

5

Weigh Your Container

Weigh your container again and subtract the original weight

6

Target – Spring Valley

Recycling

Since 2010, we have offered front-of-store recycling kiosks that give guests an easy way to recycle cans, glass, plastic bottles, plastic bags, MP3 players, ink cartridges and cell phones right in their local store. The goal of the program is to extend our company recycling efforts, and so far, the program has kept thousands of tons of recycled materials out of landfills.

We endeavor to make recycling simpler and more convenient for our guests with select take-back programs. We have offered front-of-store recycling of plastic bags and some electronics since 2010 and have held car seat trade-in events since 2016.

Albertsons – Lake Murray

San Diego Co-Harvest

Micro-Farm Installation and Upkeep

HOW IT WORKS:

Co-Harvest is an agricultural nonprofit that establishes and maintains micro-farms at low costs throughout San Diego. We transform your unused space into an efficient micro-farm, which feeds your family and your community. Freshly harvested crops are distributed back to members, food banks, and community fridges. Sliding scale memberships and farm installations are available for low-income families, philanthropists and pre-existing farms & community spaces.

Get started by scheduling a free consultation. We’ll determine the best plan for you based on the amount of space you have (minimum 10×10 ft), sunlight, irrigation, and your income eligibility. Then you’ll pick your veggies, pick your membership plan, and we’ll start co-harvesting!

OTHER SERVICES:

Fresh Food Delivery: Their delivery program is solely for food-insecure members, and we are looking for food insecure households that would be willing to grow food on their land. All Food Insecure Members will receive at least a small bi-weekly bag of produce at NO CHARGE.

Food Donations: The Community Supporter Membership is made for people who love the idea of donating food for those in need without lifting a finger.

Food Scrap Pickup & Compost: This service provides free food-scrap pickup, as well as compost education for Co-Harvest members. Their Food Members are required to take part in our free food scrap collection or at-home composting program.

 

Father Joe’s Villages Thrift Store – Hillcrest

Donations accepted Tuesday-Sunday 10AM until donation capacity is reached.

We accept most donations of items in gently used and working condition. All donations are sold as is, so they must be clean and in good condition. When we receive an item that cannot be sold in our stores or easily recycled, we have to pay for disposal. This means that less funds go towards helping our neighbors in need. Please read both the list of items we accept and the list of items we are not able to accept on the website.

San Diego County Waste Ordinance Update June 2021

The County of San Diego Board of Supervisors unanimously approved updates to the Solid Waste Ordinance on May 5, 2021. This requires all residents and businesses in the densely-populated, and to a lesser extent sparsely-populated, areas of the unincorporated County to comply with new recycling requirements. Densely-populated areas include census tracts that have a population density of more than 75 people per square mile. Click the website link to see how the new ordinance impacts you.

Single-Family Homes & Multi-Family Complexes with 4 or less units

Residents may demonstrate compliance by:

  • Subscribing to a 3-stream collection service with a non-exclusive franchise hauler, or contract with a Certified Recyclable Materials Collector for certain materials.
  • Self-hauling all designated materials. Registration with the County is required and Self-Haulers will be required to maintain receipts or a log of self-hauling activities for 3 years and submit them periodically or upon request to County staff. Contact Recycle@sdcounty.ca.gov for information.

 

Waiver from Service Requirements

Single family residences in the densely-populated areas, including multi-family premises with 4 or less units, who manage all organic materials generated on-site may apply for a waiver from organic recycling service requirements. Learn more here.
Businesses & Multi-Family Complexes with 5+ units

How do I Comply?

Generators may demonstrate compliance by:

  • Subscribing to a 3-stream collection service with a non-exclusive franchise hauler, or contract with a Certified Recyclable Materials Collector for certain materials.
  • Self-hauling materials. Registration with the County is required and Self-Haulers will be required to maintain receipts or a log of self-hauling activities for 3 years and submit them periodically or upon request to County staff. Contact Recycle@sdcounty.ca.gov for information.
  • Maintaining records:
    • Tenant or employee education
    • Landscaping contracts (if applicable)
    • Edible food donation contracts and records (if applicable)

 

Waivers from Service Requirements

Commercial and multi-family properties (5+ units) may apply for waivers from recycling and/or organics service requirements when de minimis generation occurs, if there are physical space constraints, and/or if all organic materials generated are managed on-site. Learn more about waivers here. 

 

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Why do I have to pay for a recycling bin from my waste hauler? Waste services are provided by a series of franchise haulers who set their own rates as private companies. As such, when additional services are added, residents will have to pay their haulers for the additional service(s).
  • What is right sizing? Right sizing is the process of adjusting your waste collection services to match the amount and type of waste your property produces. The County recommends right sizing services to make them more affordable (such as decreasing the size of your landfill bin once you receive recycling or organics services). In general, using cart services only instead of a dumpster service should result in a cheaper waste bill.
  • How do I recycle food scraps? Visit How to Recycle Organic Waste for guidelines and tips.
  • How do I get a kitchen caddie/compost bin for collecting food scraps? Ask your hauler if they are offering free kitchen caddies, or they can be purchased from many home goods, home improvement, and online shops.

 

For specifics on the solid waste ordinance please view the following web pages, depending on your area*:

*Based on census tract data, densely-populated areas include larger communities such as Spring Valley, Lakeside, Ramona, Fallbrook, etc., while sparsely-populated areas include smaller communities such as Campo, Boulevard, Warner Springs, Ranchita, etc. Verify which type of area you live in here.
