In recognition that multifamily recycling programs are important for
California’s continued success in waste reduction and recycling, this
information has been assembled to assist local jurisdictions in their
efforts to
develop successful multifamily diversion programs.
The Board conducted two
workshops in
September 2006 that were designed to assist recycling coordinators and
other local officials who want to achieve greater success with recycling
programs in apartments and condominiums.
The workshops provided an opportunity to hear from local government
recycling coordinators that have implemented pilot and permanent
programs targeting apartments and condominiums. The workshops also
provided successful
ideas and tools to meet multifamily housing recycling challenges,
increase quantity and quality of recyclables collected, and improve city
and county diversion rates.
Several presentations made at the workshops
are listed below as downloadable files. An e-mail contact is included
