SAN DIEGO — The San Diego City Council took the first step Tuesday in what is likely to be a lengthy process of repealing the 103-year-old"People's Ordinance," which prohibits the city from charging for trash pickup for single family households.
Council President Sean Elo-Rivera and Councilman Joe LaCava proposed the ballot measure for this November, which -- if passed -- would allow for the city to collect a fee for solid waste collection, transport, disposal and recycling, include the cost of bins and force short-term vacation rentals, accessory dwelling units and"mini-dorms" currently receiving city trash pickup to pay for the services.
Amendments to the ordinance in 1981 and 1986 brought about the current system in which the city is prohibited from recovering costs from most single-family residences for trash collection services, while most residents in apartments and condominiums must pay a private hauler for solid waste collection services.
However, some councilmembers questioned the wisdom of such a ballot measure at a time where gas prices are over $6 per gallon, and inflation in both the housing market and for household goods and groceries appears to be on the rise.
