flag A coalition seeks to repeal San Diego’s trash tax on homeowners, citing cost and fairness, with a potential repeal covering late 2027 through mid-2029.

flag A coalition led by former San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer is pushing to repeal the city's trash tax on single-family homeowners, citing affordability, lack of transparency, and inequity. flag The fee, approved in 2022 as Measure B, was meant to cover waste services for homes, short-term rentals, and accessory units, ending a 106-year tradition of free pickup. flag Revised costs raised monthly fees to $31.98–$42.76, sparking backlash. flag If passed in November 2026, the repeal would eliminate the fee for two years, covering the second half of 2027, all of 2028, and the first half of 2029. flag Critics argue the tax unfairly targets homeowners while renters are exempt, and the city’s landfill diversion rate remains far below its 80% goal, with the Miramar Landfill nearing capacity by 2031.
