Description

Municipalities are doubling down to boost their recycling numbers and decrease contamination, but when it comes to multifamily recycling, they are faced with many challenges and opportunities. Across the U.S., some cities have implemented mandatory recycling ordinances for commercial and multifamily properties. Others have launched pilot projects in an attempt to change behavior and combat contamination issues. Learn how municipalities are complying with these ordinances, what data resulted from pilot projects, what challenges and opportunities come along with multifamily recycling and more.
