San Diego City Measure B – Equitable Trash Tax (2022 General)

• Party: Initiative

This measure asks voters to consider a third amendment to the People’s Ordinance that, if adopted, would clarify eligibility and allow the City to charge a fee for City-provided solid waste management services to eligible single family residential properties and multi-family residential properties with up to four residences on a single lot.

Although this measure does not create or approve a fee for solid waste management services, it does allow the City Council to adopt a fee in the future. Under state law, the City Council would consider the imposition of any related City fee at a public meeting and any City fee could not exceed the City’s cost of providing the services.
