Increase Participation in Your Apartment's Zero Waste Program
The Mandatory Recycling and Composting Ordinance requires all buildings in San Francisco to separate discards into recyclables, compostables, and landfill trash.
SF Environment provides free consultations to property managers and owners to determine how to reduce trash costs by increasing participation in recycling and composting in your apartment building.
Customized outreach materials are available for your building, including signs, stickers, bins, multi-lingual training for staff and tenants, sample letters to tenants, and free kitchen pails for each unit.
Contact our Zero Waste team at (415) 355-3700 to start composting and recycling in your building.
