Multi-Family Recycling

The back side of a multi-family housing unit with over hanging porches.

On December 9, 2010, City Council passed an ordinance requiring all multi-family properties, like apartments and other multi-family housing structures, to provide recycling services to their occupants.

SWMD staff conduct on-site inspections of recycling services at multi-family properties to ensure program compliance.
