Recycle Your Propane Tank
Since there’s a possibility of propane left in the tank, many landfills, recycling centers, and scrap metal dealers will not accept unwanted tanks for recycling. However, some propane exchange companies, including Blue Rhino, will happily take your unused propane cylinders and recycle them at no cost to you. If you have a propane tank that you don’t want, place your old tank beside a Blue Rhino display and we’ll take care of the rest.

How does Too Good To Go work?
With Too Good To Go you can save food from the restaurants, cafes and stores that are on the app. Instead of having to throw away food at the end of the day, these places offer what they have in Surprise Bags. You can buy a Surprise Bag in the app and then go to the store to collect it, the actual contents will be a surprise until you get there! You get great food at great value while also helping fight food waste! To find what Surprise Bags are available near you, just use the app to search and then you buy it through the app. You’ll be given a pick-up time and then you just need to turn up and show the staff your order in the app. More than 1/3 of food is wasted so you’re doing a great thing and hopefully having a bit of fun while you do it!
They offer plastic film and bag take back and recycling services for their customers at many of their stores, where collection bins are conveniently placed within stores entrances.
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.
A plastic bag collection container is at the front of the store.

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.
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
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.

Trading in your Used books for a Discount Credit
As of 3/23/2021
Please contact the store first & let them know what day you will be bringing books.
1 or 2 bags of clean, used books at a time per customer, please.
Store offers 50% off of used-book prices with your trade-credit! The amount we issue will be in the computer under your name to use at each purchase until credit runs out.
They will give you back the books we pass on.
Please – anything broken or soiled don’t bring.
They don’t pay cash for books – they offer a trade-credit. They look at the books you bring, and once they’ve selected the titles they think we can resell, they offer approx. 1/2 of our estimated retail price as a credit. Your credit then pays for up to 50% of the price of used books and up to 25% of the price of any other items; ie new books, stationery or any orders (new or used).
Picture ID is required. They will keep the credit balance in their database. Please make at least one purchase a year to keep your credit active. We don’t pay cash.
See website or call store for more details.
selling/trading in your books to Verbatim Books
Verbatim Books buys and trades books!
Verbatim Books is very selective about the books they take, but they do buy all types of books (except for school textbooks). For a better idea of what they buy, please feel free to browse around the store and see the books they are selling.
Unfortunately they cannot say if they will be able to buy books without seeing them in person. They pay about 20% in cash/30% in store credit of their retail value.
They buy/trade on Fridays and also on Mondays from 12-4 pm and also by appointment if those times can’t work for you.
If you have more than 5 boxes of books, please make an appointment.
To make an appointment, send an email to selling AT verbatimbooks.com (please replace the AT with an @ symbol) with a picture of the books or at least a cross-section of them to give them an idea of what you have. Without pictures, they will likely not be able to make an appointment. They have appointments available Saturday and Sunday for your convenience.
Please note that they do not make house calls or take donations.
A downspout is a pipe that helps rainwater flow off the roof, but they often flow directly onto hard, impervious areas like concrete or pavement. That water runoff then enters the storm drain system where it flows untreated into San Diego’s waterways and the ocean. A downspout redirect helps this rainwater flow to a vegetated area to be naturally filtered instead. So joining your neighbors and utilizing this rebate will help protect our beaches, water quality and marine life.
Receive up to $40 per disconnect by redirecting downspout to a landscaped area. Normally done in conjunction with a rain barrel application
Rebates for rain barrels and rain gutters are also available. Visit the City of San Diego website for more info.
Rain Gutters are used on your home to divert rainwater away from your property in an effort to protect your roof and foundation from rainwater accumulation. But did you know Rain Gutters are also used to divert rainwater into a green space, your landscape or rain barrel which can naturally filter out pollutants which may end up in our storm drains.
Rebates for new gutters are $1.25 for every linear foot of aluminum gutter, $2.00 for every linear foot of steel
gutters and $0.25 for every linear foot of PVC/vinyl/plastic gutter, up to 250 feet.

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.

We have to receive the bras at our location in order to provide the tax deduction receipt. Receipts will not be mailed.
- Drop Off Location DOES NOT Send Bras to The Bra Recyclers. If this is the case, then they donating the bras to a local charity. We would still recommend that you fill out the online Bra Recycling form. You can also print off a copy of the Bra_Recycling_Form.pdf that you can provide to your tax accountant. Since we are not a 501(c)3 you will need to discuss what if your items are tax deductible.
Please note that you can always mail your recycled items directly to The Bra Recyclers, the mailing address is:
The Bra Recyclers
