How do I start recycling in a apartment complex?
Brenda S asked:
I am the director résident and that you wish démarrer a programme of recycling in our complex d& #39; apartments. J& #39; have placé small dustbins by the boîtes with the letters for the paper products, but qu& #39; this is which would make it possible to the tenants to make their share when it s& #39; acts of the bottle of détergent à detergent, of the bottles out of plastic and other articles?

Het klinkt alsof you' ve werd reeds het juiste idee. Plaats bakken in de wasserijruimte en rond het complex. Etiketteer hen " plastic" , " aluminum" , " newspaper". Hopelijk, zal iedereen genoeg verantwoordelijk zijn om dingen in de juiste containers te zetten. U zou ook kunnen een nota aan elke ingezetene schrijven die hen vertelt welke you' het re doen van en het aanmoedigen van hen deelnemen. Als u contant geld voor de punten krijgt die worden verzameld, zou u een " kunnen hebben; block" partij met de opbrengst.

We just moved to an apartment complex and I thought the same recently. People are terrible about just leaving junk mail on the floor and I wish we had a small garbage can there too. We have a trailer thing a couple blocks from us for recycling but I doubt anyone here uses it by the look inside our dumpster. I wish they would put one next to our dumpster/ maybe you could do that. Maybe make some type of one for those plastic and cans. I think people are just too lazy to take it a few blocks. You might want to send them a flier about it.
If it directly effects your garbage pick up (money) , you might use that as incentive to help keep down costs and possibly keep their rents lower. Unfortunately our rent isn’t tied into it or the town doesn’t require recycling to hold down costs. The only thing they have for the can usage in this town is a drop off for to upkeep the parks.
Also you might want to put on that flier a web site for recycling. It would cut down on the furniture and other things being thrown in the dumpster. A great one is recycle.com and you can get it by your zip code. Check it out. I also belong to another web site. (City’s name) Sell it cheap.com. you could even start one yourself. Both are under Yahoo groups and free to join,. Everything on there is suppose to be free or under $50. They have everything from furniture, stoves, exercise equipment, pets, etc, The idea of all of them is to keep it out of land fills.

Neem contact op met uw lokale Solid Waste Management afdeling en zien of er programma's beschikbaar in uw regio. Also check out lokale recycleerders, kunnen ze bereid zijn om bakken gratis op uw locatie. Ga naar en informatie krijgen over recylers in uw omgeving.

u hebt het juiste idee meer recyclingsbakken voor punten zoals metaal en plastiek uit zetten om de ingezetenen groen te helpen gaan

Depending on your city, some cities will provide residents with FREE Recycling boxes. If not, you can find them at a retailer store (Canadian Tire/Target) for a rather inexpensive price.
Once you have them, either provide each tenant will them and inform them to use the boxes.
OR
Place them at the garbage disposal location and state “Paper”, “Plastic”, “Cardboard”, etc on each.
Unfortunate as it is, your tenants have to be cooperative in this matter. Some will be, some might not.
Good luck none the less! Good to see someone thinking green.

our local post office placed a trash can in the foyer for unwanted mail, it is also a good way for people to get extra coupons from those that don’t want them.
you would be surprised how many aluminum cans you would get just by putting a separate bin for cans in the laundry room, you could also put one there for plastic.
you could also place bins at the end of each hallway.
or just start a contest for the tenants.
