Containers used for transport must be no larger than a 5-gallon bucket.
Home generated “sharps” including syringes and lancets will be collected during this event. Please transport in closed rigid containers.
Unwanted medication will also be collected in partnership with the County Sheriff’s Department and DEA.
Not Accepted:
Business waste, ammunition, explosives, or radioactive materials.
Note: This is NOT a volunteer opportunity.
At our first Sustainable Living Series workshop – What to Know about H2O – I Love A Clean San Diego staff set out to tackle that very question. After reviewing the history of water in San Diego, participants rolled up their sleeves and dug into our repurposed planter activity. Using items salvaged from Goodwill as pots, we planted succulents, saving water and saving items from the landfill in one fell swoop.
