Increase public awareness of and access to opportunities for reuse, product rentals, repair, and donation
(Full action name in the CAP)Loading
The City is committed to promoting WasteFreeSD.org, a comprehensive database for reuse, repair, donation, and recycling resources, as part of its recycling education and outreach efforts managed by I Love a Clean San Diego. The WasteFreeSD hotline is available Monday through Friday 8 am - 1 pm, offering assistance in both English and Spanish.
ESD receives quarterly reports from I Love A Clean San Diego, which include the total number of inquiries received as well as the top ten items searched which help improve the database to better serve the community.
ESD has a new partnership with Zero Waste San Diego to host Fixit Clinics. These are free, community-based workshops where skilled volunteers help attendees repair broken household items such as electronics, bicycles, textiles, and other household goods. ESD will consider continuing those events in FY26.
