Community & Apartment Recycling

Using one of our smaller bins to recycle in a community or apartment complex?

Place all of your recyclables into the one bin. When it’s full, take it to the recycling collection center designated by your property management team. Most likely, the receptacle will be next to where you drop off your garbage already.
