Green Recycle Law
Climate change has prompted a city law that requires all organics (food and landscape materials) be placed in a green recycle bin. If your home, multi-family property or business doesn’t have a green recycle bin, email the Santa Monica Zero Waste team to request one at no additional charge: recycling@smgov.net
For the new green container guidelines click here.

Graffiti Removal Hotline: (310) 458-2231
The police department graffiti hotline allows you to simply leave a message, with the description of the graffiti and location, and a third party company hired by the City will remove it. If the graffiti is on city property, it’s immediately removed. If the graffiti is on private property, they will seek approval from the owner first and then paint over it.
Electrify Santa Monica Rebate Program
The City’s Office of Sustainability & the Environment has introduced a pilot rebate program to assist residents in retrofitting their homes with efficient electric appliances. It offers up to $1,000 for residential properties, and up to $1,800 for low-income residents, to replace natural gas equipment (water heating, space heating, and cooking) with efficient all-electric alternatives.
