Multifamily Ordinance: 

• There is no multi family ordinance for recycling for the City of Coconut Creek.   At this time, there is no curbside recycling for single family, multifamily or commercial properties.

• Prior to this date, the City began changing the manner in which they processed collected materials from their designated green ( garbage waste ) and white ( recycling  ) rollout carts.  At this time, all materials collected from single-family residents, both garbage and recycling will be sent to the Wheelabrator South Broward Waste-to-Energy plant located in Davie, Florida.  At the Waste-to-Energy  plant ferrous and non-ferrous metals are separated and recycled back to create new products, with the remainder  being incinerated into fuel that can produce electricity.  The CIty of Coconut Creek expects the  processing of  Waste-to-Energy to reduce current processing costs and the amount of waste ending up in landfills.  At this time, The City of Coconut Creek has deemed this the best option for the city until a regional solution is implemented.  For more information on Why Recycling Changed,   https://www.coconutcreek.net/pw/solid-waste/why-recycling-changed#accordion-13

What We Can Recycle:

(At Drop-Off Center Only)

Corrugated cardboard Boxes (flattened), rinsed plastic bottles and jugs labeled #1 and #2, and rinsed aluminum and steel cans.

  • The collection does not apply to commercial or non-residential properties, which must provide their own bulk trash hauling

  • Multi-family residences are to place their trash at a location designated by their property manager.
  • Bulk waste includes household furniture, mattresses, appliances, carpets, padding, fencing and other bulky non-hazardous household items.  It also includes yard waste such as tree trimmings, lumber and metal poles.  Broken glass will not be collected unless it is placed in a dry sturdy container sealed and labeled “glass”.

Recycling Ordinance: Best Practice

Recycling collection may be centralized to one recycling collection area, or there may be multiple recycling containers distributed around a property. Recycling may be collected in carts or larger dumpster-sized containers. Residents should first contact their property management staff if they have questions about the recycling services available at their property. For additional questions, residents may contact the City of Gainesville’s Solid Waste Division at (352) 334-2330 or [email protected].

Multi-family property residents should read through the list of accepted recyclables as indicated on the recycling containers, and only place those accepted materials in with the recycling. When contaminants (items not accepted for recycling) make their way into the recycling stream, it increases the overall processing cost of recyclables. Contaminants cause damage to the expensive sorting equipment at the processing facility and devalue the marketability of the recyclables.

The Solid Waste Division also provides residential recycling collection for electronic items by appointment and sponsors other recycling programs. The Solid Waste Division is located at 405 NW 39th Avenue with weekday hours from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, except for scheduled holidays.

Recyclables may be collected and taken to one of seven City of Houston’s drop-off locations. Residents can speak with their building management about acquiring a recycling service contract/opportunity in addition to the refuse collection service.

• You can contact Habitat for Humanity, who has offered to pick up recycling in area apartments; they will provide you with details for your specific area.

Multifamily Ordinance: 

The City of Jacksonville does not provide solid waste services to multi-family complexes or commercial properties.

City of Jacksonville Ordinance Section 382.102 – Definitions

(i) Multi-family residential premises means a building or complex of buildings on a single parcel of land divided horizontally or vertically and designed for or occupied by more than four housekeeping units. 

Multi-family complexes primarily use private haulers and dumpsters for garbage. Each multi-family complexes’ management decides on the private hauler and on how tenants will be billed.  Complex management associations should contact a commercial hauler and/or recycle for services.  There are several contractors to choose from, and prices may vary widely; associations should choose one that meets their particular needs.

Download a list of nonresidential franchise haulers here.

Recycling Services for Multi-Family Complexes and Commercial Properties:

To establish a recycling program, pick a franchise hauler/contractor and know which recycling items the contractor will accept and agree upon the items.  Arrange a schedule for recycling pick up and advise tenants.  Assign a staff member to assist with the recycling efforts: purchasing the containers, placement of containers and date/times for set outs and more importantly the education of tenants.

Electronics Recycling (E-Scrap)

End-of-life electronics such as computers and televisions may be recycled at the Central Transfer Station’s Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility. Electronics recycling is FREE for all Seminole County residents. It is strongly recommended that all information be removed from the hard drives of old computers before they are recycled. Some common methods of removing personal information from hard drives include special software, or removing the hard drive and punching or drilling holes through the case.

Household Hazardous Waste

Disposal facilities are located at the Central Transfer Station and the landfill for many common items such as antifreeze, poisons, mercury thermometers, pool and lawn chemicals, paint, thinners, solvents, rechargeable batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, gasoline, and used motor oil. (Containers must be labeled stating the contents.) Disposal is FREE for all Seminole County residents. Businesses may NOT bring hazardous waste to either facility.

Tires

Multifamily Ordinance:

Businesses and Multi-Family Properties Must Recycle  (AB341)

In July 2012, AB 341 California’s Mandatory Commercial Recycling Law, went into effect.  It requires multi-family communities with five units or more, regardless of the amount of waste generated, to recycle.

For More Information regarding guidelines, visit, https://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Recycle/Commercial

• Moorpark Commercial and multi-family residential solid waste and recycling service is provided by: Waste Management (805) 955-4346
• Monthly commercial and multi-family service rates will depend on the size of bins and frequency of pick up.  Recycling and composting (yard waste) dumpsters are available in the same sizes as solid waste (1.5, 3.0 and 4.0 cubic yard bins) at discounted rates. Commercial bins contain signage indicating what goes inside them.

Organic Waste (AB 1826)

In April 2016, AB 1826 California’s Organic Waste Recycling Law, went into effect.  It requires local governments to develop organics diversion programs but does not require that multi-family properties participate — unless a local ordinance requires it. It encourages properties of five units or more to recycle their organic waste depending on the amount of waste they generate per week. For More Information, visit:  https://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Recycle/Commercial/Organics/

Multifamily Ordinance: 

This ordinance applies to the city of Los Angeles in its entirety, and was passed on July 2, 2012.  

AB 341 (Chesbro, Chapter 476, Statutes of 2011) requires that businesses that generate four cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week or are a multifamily residential dwelling of five units or more must now arrange for recycling services. 

LA Sanitation & Environment (LASAN) now provides solid resources collection services to  single-family, multi-family units (duplex to four-unit buildings), commercial and industrial businesses, institutions, and large multifamily buildings  with the new waste collection program, recycLA.   The four-bin collection system consists of blue bins (recyclables), green bins (tree and yard trimmings), black bins (residual waste) and brown bins (horse manure).

The new system divides the city into 11 zones, each of which will be served exclusively by one service provider for waste and recycling collection. The Franchise Service Provider (FSP) for North Hollywood is  Waste Management.  The new waste and recycling program  will also set uniform, regulated monthly rates for multi-family and commercial customers throughout Los Angeles. For information about the rate schedule and frequently asked questions about the program, visit www.recycla.com.

Ways communities can comply with the Multifamily Ordinance

• Subscribe to Blue Bin recycling services with your recycLA service provider.  Waste Management is the provider for the North Hollywood area,  Zone F-SEV, RecycLA.
• The standard container allowance for multi-family dwellings is one 60-gallon black container per dwelling unit for refuse; one 90 gallon green container for yard trimmings for the lot; one 90-gallon blue container for recyclables for every four units.  Some households have brown bins, by request, for horse manure. By placing material in the proper bins, you can prevent contamination that occurs when non-recyclable items are discarded in the BLUE bin and when anything other than yard trimmings are placed in the GREEN bin. Non-recyclable items such as paper or boxes with grease or food residue, treated wood and wood-products, cloth/fabric, and fats/oils/grease in sealed containers belong in your BLACK bin. 
• Your recycLA service provider (FSP) will conduct a waste assessment of your property and work with you to determine your optimal level of service for the lowest possible cost. The waste assessment is a thorough walk-through of your property to determine current levels of service, opportunities for recycling, and right-sizing your bins, which means determining the appropriate bin size for your needs as well as selecting the appropriate frequency of service. Waste assessments are scheduled in advance, but if you cannot be reached to schedule, your recycLA service provider will attempt to conduct a waste assessment in your absence in order to optimize efficiency. You can request a waste assessment online.
