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 submit a Waste Tire Amnesty Grant application to CalRecycle. This grant is intended to fund a program that supports City residents in dropping off used or waste tires at a collection facility located adjacent to the Miramar Landfill in the Kearny Mesa Community Planning Area. The program's scope includes the collection of tires and their subsequent transfer to a previously approved offsite tire recycling facility. The period of performance for this funding is scheduled to run from Fiscal Year 2026 through the first half of Fiscal Year 2028. The project has been filed as a Notice of Exemption with the San Diego County Clerk, certifying that the initiative is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Sections 15301 and 15308. This exemption is based on the project being classified as maintenance and regulatory action that will not result in significant environmental impacts. Specifically, the program will not involve any excavation or grading activities that would disturb the existing landfill cover or expose hazardous materials. While the specific contract value and financial terms are not detailed in the environmental filing, the project is officially categorized under NAICS code 924100 for local government administration.
