5 Tips for Easy Recycling in Your Apartment or Condo From Austin Resource Recovery

Live in an apartment complex or condo? Then you probably already know that recycling can be a bit of a challenge, especially if your property manager is not on board. Luckily, Austin Resource Recovery is here to help. Their latest blog, “5 Tips for Easy Recycling in Your Apartment or Condo,” reminds Austinites that starting October 1st, all apartment buildings with 10 units or more will be required to provide their residents with access to recycling.

The blog also lays out several tips to help you make the most of this new access, including:

  • Eliminate junk mail by visiting catalogchoice.com and DMAchoice.org
  • Add recycling bins to every room (including the bathroom)
  • Download Austin Resource Recovery’s free educational signage and hang them next to your recycling bins
  • Organize a recycling event at your apartment complex. At the event, teach others how to recycle properly and put out a collection bin for old electronics. These can then be dropped off at Austin’s Resource Recovery Center, where they will be recycled properly.
