AI Contract Overview

The City of San Diego will implement a new Solid Waste Management Fee effective July 1, 2025, with additional scheduled increases on July 1 of each subsequent year through 2028, to fund city-provided solid waste services including weekly recycling collection, curbside bulky item pickup, equipment and fleet replacement, and additional staffing. Revenue from the fee will be deposited into a newly established Solid Waste Management Fund, which will exclusively support the costs of these services, reducing the reliance on the General Fund. A portion of the General Fund dollars previously allocated for waste operations will be redirected to a financial assistance program for eligible customers. The Recycling Enterprise Fund will support recycling operations through Fiscal Year 2030 and be gradually phased out by 2031. A customer-facing portal for managing container options and fee payments will be launched by July 15, 2025, and tax roll billing is under consideration as the potential collection method, to be finalized in a future City Council hearing. The fee adoption is exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15273 due to its nature as a service fee tied to operational and capital expenses. The project is administered by the City of San Diego’s Environmental Services and Planning departments, with Elena Pascual and Jeremy Bauer serving as the primary contacts. The fee schedule applies citywide and is designed to ensure sustainable funding for solid waste management through Fiscal Year 2030 and beyond.

Full Description

City Council adoption of a new Solid Waste Management Fee and associated fee schedule for City-provided solid waste management services. The Solid Waste Management Fee schedule includes four effective dates (I.e., July 1, 2025; July 1, 2026; July 1, 2027; and July 1, 2028). The adoption of the Solid Waste Management Fee and associated fee schedule will fund various solid waste management services and operational expenses which could Include, but are not limited to, weekly recycling collection, curbside bulky item pick up, waste collection equipment and fleet replacement, and additional staffing. Approval of the Solid Waste Management Fee and associated fee schedule will reduce the obligation the General Fund would otherwise incur for waste collections operations. A portion of the General Fund dollars allocated for solid waste collection services will be used to provide a financial assistance program for customers. The collection of the new Solid Waste Management Fee could potentially occur through the use of tax roll billing which will be decided at a later City Council hearing. The Recycling Enterprise Fund will be used to support a portion of the costs of providing residential collections services (for recycling operations only) through Fiscal Year 2030. This will be gradually reduced and phased out by Fiscal Year 2031. A new enterprise fund, the Solid Waste Management Fund, will house revenue received from the new Solid Waste Management Fee. The revenue can be used only to cover the costs of City-provided solid waste management services. The Solid Waste Management Fee will become effective on July 1, 2025 and a new customer-facing portal will become available for property owners to select and manage their containers by July 15, 2025.
