Organics Recycling Coming to
Single-Family Homes
| Beginning in January, single-family households in Oceanside can include food scraps in their green carts with their green waste.

Businesses and multi-family homes have already begun organics recycling in Oceanside. With the rollout of single-family homes in the program, all Oceanside Waste Management customers will have access to food scrap recycling services. More information | | |
