The city's Environmental Services Department has distributed 213,000 green bins since Jan. 11, along with 281,000 kitchen pails with more than 53,000 tons of organic waste collected to date.
"Recycling organic waste is a key part of achieving our climate action goals," Mayor Todd Gloria said."I know changing habits can be hard, but separating your organics keeps waste out of our landfills and reduces harmful emissions created by rotting waste.
"Recycling organic waste is a simple, yet impactful step each of us can take to fight climate change," said City Councilman Joe LaCava, chair of the City Council's Environment Committee."San Diegans now have the tools to be part of the solution."
