A proposed $53 monthly fee for city of San Diego trash collection at single-family homes stirred up animated debate as the Ocean Beach Community Foundation held its first public meeting of 2025.
Randy Reyes, representing City Councilwoman Jennifer Campbell, whose District 2 includes Ocean Beach and Point Loma, stoically defended the new fee proposal against a barrage of questions and comments that took the entire nine-minute Q&A period following his usual presentation, even though the trash topic wasn’t broached in his report.
The monthly price, which the city plans to start charging in July to recoup its costs, would end more than a century of fee-free service for trash and recycling collection for single-family homeowners and some small multi-unit properties.
