Multi-Family Recycling Project

On December 9, 2010 City Council passed an ordinance requiring multi-family properties, such as apartments and condominiums, to provide recycling services for their residents. An archive of meeting notes and presentations that preceded passage of the ordinance is available (click here for historical data). Recycling services will be phased in from July 2011 – April 2012 on the following schedule:
