Local Government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant for Fiscal Year 2026 through and including first half of Fiscal Year 2028

The City of San Diego is seeking to authorize the Mayor or a designee to apply for a Waste Tire Amnesty Grant from CalRecycle. This funding is intended to support a program allowing city residents to drop off waste and used tires at a collection facility located at 5180 Convoy St, San Diego, California, which operates adjacent to the Miramar Landfill. The program's scope includes the collection of tires and their subsequent transfer to a previously approved offsite recycling facility. The period of performance for this grant extends from Fiscal Year 2026 through the first half of Fiscal Year 2028. The project is classified under NAICS code 924110 and has been deemed exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Sections 15301 and 15308, as it constitutes maintenance and regulatory action with no significant environmental impact. Specifically, the project will not involve any excavation or grading activities that would disturb the existing landfill cover or expose hazardous materials. A Notice of Exemption was filed with the San Diego County Clerk on October 21, 2025, to certify these environmental findings.
