Operation Chip Drop – Community wide event to help homeowners with large items such as mattresses, appliances, water heaters, recycling tires, green waste to be chipped.
Maintaining the legally required 100 feet of defensible space around your property can be a challenge for homeowners. Once you’ve taken the necessary steps to protect your property by thinning and trimming hazardous brush, you are often left with large piles of dry vegetation, which can themselves become a fire hazard.
That is why we created our Community Chipping Program for residents living in high fire risk properties in San Diego County. Once you’ve done the hard work of preparing the space, our contractors come out and chip the cleared vegetation for you, free of charge. The chips are left with you and can be used as a weed suppressing mulch on your property.
How to participate in the Community Chipping Program:
Preparing for the crew’s arrival:
Please Note:
They collect donated bikes and gear at all of their stores and events. The bikes are shipped to sister shops in Africa and refurbished before being made available to the local community.

Post-Storm Sandbag Guidance
With rainy season approaching, residents may want to consider keeping their sandbags (filled or empty) for reuse. Generally, clean and dry sandbags can be stored out of the sunlight in a covered, above-ground location.
If used sandbags are uncontaminated, you can empty the sand and then save, repurpose or dispose of the empty bags.
If you see or suspect that your sandbags are contaminated (e.g., in contact with raw sewage, industrial chemicals, petroleum products, etc.), handle them with protective gear, including gloves and protective eyewear. Dispose of them at select landfills or through a hazardous waste contractor (as appropriate). As additional handling and paperwork will be required, please contact the landfill facility or operator in advance for more information
Do not place bags in recycle bin. Empty bags can be placed in trash cans if you choose not to reuse them. You may also take them directly to a landfill. Local landfills (Miramar, Sycamore, Otay, and Borrego Springs) can accept sandbags used for stormwater control during the recent storm.
Full sandbags should not be placed in carts or dumpsters for pick-up (due to their weight). The sand can be raked into soil or added to planters or flowerbeds as a soil amendment instead.
For questions not covered here, unincorporated county residents can contact 1-877-R-1-EARTH or 1-877-713-2784.
Residents of cities or tribal lands should also check with their jurisdictions for any additional guidance.

That’s right, the library. It’s not just for books; it’s for batteries too!
Just bring them to the battery drop-off bins located inside the 14 branches. The libraries primarily collect standard alkaline batteries — Cs, Ds, AAs, AAAs, 9-volts, you name it. But they can also take rechargeable batteries; lithium batteries must be bagged separately.
Please tape positive end of batteries to reduce flammability and place batteries in a resealable bag.
The San Diego County Library is no longer accepting physical donations of materials for the collection, with the exception of items produced by local authors or musicians.
The Library purchases materials at steep discounts that come with labels, barcodes and covers, ready for customer use. It is more expensive to accept a donation and prepare it for circulation than it is for the Library to purchase a title that comes prepared by our vendors. If you would like to support the Library’s collection, we encourage you to donate funds for the purchase of physical and digital materials for our communities.
If you are looking for an organization to donate your books, DVDs, CDs, audiobooks, or magazines to, consider contacting one of the organizations below:
Your Branch Friends of the Library
