Multi-Family Recycling Program
Recycling
bins can cut down on unsightly overflowing garbage containers. The white
bins come with decals that show which items can be recycled and which
cannot. It is important not to contaminate the recycling bins with garbage
or items that cannot be recycled such as plastic bags, Styrofoam, food-soiled
cardboard or paper, and diapers.

Last
March, Oro Loma introduced a new recycling program that made it easier
for customers to recycle. All recyclablematerials, including paper, cardboard,
tin and aluminum cans, glass and plastic containers, can now go into a
single recycling cart; there is no need anymore to separate these items.
Now, Oro Loma has launched a campaign to encourage residents of multi-family
units to take advantage of the new program. In addition to helping preserve
valuable natural resources and reducing the need for landfill space, use
of a recycling bin by multi-family residents can mean fewer unsightly
overflowing garbage containers.
For
property owners, there are even more advantages. Owners pay for recycling
on their property tax bill. Adding to their recycling efforts will not
increase that cost, but doing so could significantly reduce garbage fees.

that have five or more units. Owners will be offered a no-cost field call
and site survey to set up the most efficient recycling program. Paper
bags for recycling, informational fliers, and refrigerator magnets for
tenants will be provided. White recycling bins with decals showing what
is and what is not accepted for recycling may be provided by Waste Management
at no additional cost. If requested, a meeting between the recycling team
and residents may also be arranged to explain the program and answer questions.
Follow-up calls and visits will be made as needed.
