Starting July 1, San Diego will switch out the last of its black trash bins for gray ones on scheduled collection days, officials said.<\/p>\n
The city announced Wednesday that the new bins will help ensure “that only eligible households receive service at the level they select, so service levels are accurately reflected, and customers are billed based on their selected service package.”<\/p>\n
Officials said the new bins “are more durable, easy to identify and include clear sorting reminders on the lid to help residents know what goes where.”<\/p>\n
Should the gray bins break, the city will repair them or replace and deliver a new bin at no additional charge.<\/p>\n
Jeremy Bauer, Environmental Services Department assistant director, said that nearly all city customers have received the replacement containers, but “for anyone who still needs a bin or needs help selecting the right service package, our team stands ready to assist.”<\/p>\n
“As we approach July 1, our focus is on making sure customers know what to expect and where to receive help,” Bauer said.<\/p>\n
