The San Diego City Council is reviewing a proposal for a new trash fee linked to Measure B, with the Environmental Services Department presenting an operational plan for implementation if approved in June. Residents opposing the plan can submit formal written protests under Proposition 218 by June 9, 2025, before the public hearing closes. The city requires 115,001 protest forms to reject the proposed fee, with strict guidelines that only one protest per household/parcel will be counted and electronic protests will not be considered.
