San Diego reached highest-ever recycling rate last year

Great news for San Diego and the environment! 

In 2022, our city reached its highest-ever recycling rate, showcasing our commitment to sustainability and reducing waste. Thanks to the dedication of our residents and local initiatives, we're making significant strides in protecting our planet. I am new to the community but very pleased that I am living in an area that helps to protect our city, and our planet. 

Let's continue this momentum by recycling, reducing, and reusing to create a greener, cleaner future for all. Together, we can make a positive impact!  

In 2022, San Diego achieved a 71% rate for recycling and composting waste that would have otherwise gone into landfills or trash incinerators in the area, marking a milestone that brings the city closer to meeting its goal of cutting waste by 90% in 2035.
