Recycling and composting for multi-family residents
Multi-family complexes like apartments, condos and townhomes must provide on-site recycling and food and yard waste diversion.
Your property owner, manager or condo board association must provide containers of sufficient capacity in all needed locations to collect recycling and compost.
They must also provide instructions to residents on the following:
- A list of accepted materials
- Where waste materials are collected
- How to properly prepare and sort materials
On this page find information about your role in the waste process, composting and recycling tips and how to manage waste in small spaces.
My building does not have a waste program
If you do not have a food and yard waste program ask your building owner or manager to set up a program.
If a program still has not been provided for your apartment or condo, please contact us by filling out our online service request or contact 311.
