San Diego Waste Disposal
San Diego County Waste Disposal 00:06
How are we doing as a County? 00:08
The average waste disposal in San Diego County declined slightly from 2010 to 2011, 00:10
but San Diego County's average daily per capita waste disposal 00:17
continues to be higher than the average California statewide average 00:21
and surrounding counties, with the exception of Orange County. 00:24
Why is it important? 00:28
Landfills in Orange County will not accept our waste after 2016 00:29
and some of our own landfills are close to being at capacity. 00:34
Waste disposal generates greenhouse gas emissions 00:38
and other pollutants that affect air and water quality. 00:41
More than half of waste disposed of at landfills 00:44
could be composted, recycled or reused 00:48
Improved waste management would extend the life of our landfills, 00:50
which are difficult to find land for and expensive to build. 00:55
Redesigning and restructuring products or 00:58
manufacturing processes to reduce or reuse waste, 01:01
and increasing recycling and composting efforts moves us 01:05
toward a more sustainable future 01:08
