Start the summer right by cleaning out your garage, attic, and back yard. Drop off any usable items to the Goodwill Drop Off just off the 15 Freeway at Mira Mesa Blvd., then take the rest to the free community cleanup and recycling event at Mira Mesa High School.

The Mira Mesa Town Council “Clean and Green” day this year is on Saturday, July 19 at Mira Mesa High School. This community clean up and recycling event is sponsored by the San Diego City Environmental Services Department. This event is for households only, as no business waste is accepted by the city.

This is the perfect time to recycle unwanted or broken appliances, TV’s, computer monitors, electronics, lawnmowers (free of oil and gas), metals, wood & yard trimmings (must be bundled & tied, not to exceed 50 lbs. or over 6’ long).

You can get rid of non-recyclables such as: carpeting, broken furniture, mattresses and palm fronds (must be bundled & tied, not to exceed 50 lbs. or over 6’ long).

Items not accepted: light bulbs/tubes, dirt, construction or demolition rubble, hazardous wastes (paint, motor oil, batteries) and tires.

Please separate waste and recyclables, as there will be different bins for each.

Arrive early! Cleanup will run from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
