Waste Management
Recycling is an easy and efficient way to keep our communities clean and minimize landfill waste. For your convenience, we have community bins for recycling and food scraps. Each bin has a sign on or above it to let you know what materials belongwhere. Please keep in mind that when materials are placed in the wrong bins, our community may be charged additional fees (ultimately passed on to Residents) or the bins may not be picked up by the recycling company. Instead of disposing unwanted items like clothing, housewares and electronics, consider donating them to charitable organizations and non-profits.
Recycling Bin:All recyclable materials must be empty, clean, and dry. Acceptable items: • cardboard, cartons, and paper • bundled stretchy plastic bags and plastic wrap • plastic containers • glass food jars and bottles • metal cans and foil
• newspaper and magazines
Food Scraps Bin: Kindly remove food from its packaging before putting it in the bin. No packaging or plastic bags should be placed in these bins. Acceptable items: • food scraps and plate scrapings • food soiled paper like paper plates and pizza boxes • paper towels and tissue
Garbage Bin Acceptable items: • non-recyclable packaging • diapers and wipes • styrofoam packaging and meattrays • small lids
• toothpaste tubes and brushes, etc.
• plastic cutlery and straws
We encourage you to refer to your municipalities waste management guidelines to find out where to dispose of unwanted furniture, electronics, household waste andtextiles.
We have also provided you with a sorting guide to help you with sorting decisions. Please speak your on-site team if you’re ever unsure about the recycling and food waste program available at your community. Thank you for doing your part to ensure our recycling and food scrap programs are a success!
