Recycling in Apartment and Condo Complexes in Northeast Ohio
Most residents living in single or two-family dwellings within in Cuyahoga County have the opportunity to recycle through their community’s curbside recycling program. As most cities do not extend this curbside service to residents living in apartments, townhomes and condominiums, it may not be so easy for these people to recycle. Many apartment dwellers make use of the paper recycling or community-sponsored recycling drop-off bins located throughout the county.
Tips on establishing a recycling program in an apartment or condominium complex
Recycling needs to be more convenient in order to increase participation and divert valuable resources from our landfills. One way to make recycling convenient is to establish a recycling program within apartment complexes to offer residents the opportunity to recycle their cans, glass, plastics and paper. While establishing an apartment recycling program is the responsibility of the property manager or property owner, apartment residents have a role in encouraging and assisting their landlord to offer this service.
Property managers and property owners will benefit from a recycling program by paying less for waste disposal and being able to offer an additional amenity to their residents. The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste Management District has developed a step-by-step process to help property managers evaluate the option of providing recycling services.
