We are proud to partner with a number of local locations in San Diego and Los Angeles to offer the Resident Drop-Off Program. This program provides a simple and easy way for people to responsibly dispose of your soft plastics, creating a sustainable option that protects our earth. By using a bag made from recycled materials, we are reducing our carbon footprint and keeping more plastics out of our oceans. It’s easy, fun, and convenient for everyone to participate!
For just a $14 month subscription, you’ll make a huge impact and we’ll make sure your plastic waste will be diverted from landfills!
We currently have 15 bins placed around San Diego County at accessible and visible points to encourage donations from the community. We are also helping the environment as these donations represent a substantial recycling impact. The water footprint of one pound of cotton is 1,320 gallons. Together, we are helping neighbors experiencing homelessness address basic needs, donate today!

Sunshine Market & Refillery is your friendly neighborhood (zero-waste) grocery store founded with one goal in mind: to reduce waste. To that end, we’ve made it our mission to provide the community with a sustainable source for grocery products and everyday essentials.
From household cleaners, to skin care, to non-perishables and more, we sell anything a typical grocery store sells. Don’t see something you want? Feel free to submit a suggestion!
A zero-waste grocery store is just a regular grocery store, with one small difference: No single use plastic products are sold! And since every product is sold in bulk, customers can purchase any quantity they’d like.
How does it work?
It’s simple. Bring your reusable containers, weigh them, fill them, then weigh them again. This way, the weight of your container is deducted and you only pay for what you need.
What if I don’t have my own containers?
No problem! There are reusable containers available for purchase in the store. We also have a community shelf where people have donated jars for anyone to use.
How does this contribute to sustainability?
By making the switch to reusable glass containers, together we are reducing the amount of single use plastics sent to our landfills and polluting our oceans.
Almost every bottle and can you use can be recycled. Look at the label for the universal recycle symbol and the words CA CASH REFUND or CA CRV.* Containers with these markings are good to go in your curbside bin and will be accepted at the recycling center. For more information about the CRV program, check out our Frequently Asked Questions. Other acceptable labels include “California Redemption Value,” “CA Redemption Value” or “California Cash Refund.”
There’s no need to wash or crush your recyclables. Just separate your aluminum, glass, and plastic containers in different bags or bins, and head for the recycling center.
Recycling centers are not owned or operated by the State of California. All recycling center days and hours of operation are determined and overseen by the individual recycling center operator and must be posted at the center. Centers are required to be open a minimum of 30 hours per week, at least five days a week, and at least one weekend day. If you would like to report a recycling center closure or file a formal complaint regarding a certified recycling center, please email CalRecycle or call 1-800-RECYCLE.

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
Any cleaned out container can be filled or refilled
Tare or pre-weigh the container you wish to fill
Get as much or as little as you desire
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
Weigh your container again and subtract the original weight
Know that we are doing our best to provide the highest quality products. This includes products that are plant based, free of parabens and sulfates, marine safe, organic and fair trade when available.
Refill
Simply bring your unwanted, unused or expired medication to a Walgreens safe medication disposal kiosk and drop it in—just like putting a letter in a mailbox.
Medications in standard containers may be deposited in collection boxes. Loose medication can be put into plastic bags available at the collection box and then deposited. Please ensure any liquid medication is enclosed in secure containers before depositing. Once collected, staff will ensure the medication is disposed of according to federal standards.
| Accepted items: | Not accepted items: |
| Prescription medications, ointments & patches | Needles & thermometers |
| OTC medications, ointments, lotions & liquids | Hydrogen peroxide |
| Pet medications *Vitamins | Illegal drugs |
| Aerosol Cans | |
| Inhalers |
Please remove all labels and any identifying information from containers before disposing at this location
All Walgreens pharmacies that do not currently offer a safe medication disposal kiosk now offer DisposeRx® packets or other drug disposal options* available upon request in the pharmacy at no cost. Visit DisposeRx.com to learn more.
Located on the 1st Floor. See ‘Pharmacy’ section on website for more details.
Medications
Patients can drop their unwanted drugs into secure collection kiosks located in some Kaiser Permanente pharmacy lobbies. The kiosks are available during normal business hours.
See website for items they do AND do not accept. For other items not accepted, contact your local or county waste service.
Tips for safe disposal:
– Keep your medication in original bottles or containers (rather than placing in baggies). Mark out or remove your personal information so it can’t be seen
– To avoid spills, please don’t put loose pills in the kiosk or mailer
– To throw away needles, syringes, or lancets, ask your pharmacist where to find the nearest collection container.
Always check to see what you can recycle through your local curbside collection program.

HOW: Collect clean & dry plastic films from packaging at home and bring back to bins at the front of stores
