Description
The City offers several programs to help residents dispose of their waste responsibly and safely.
This strategy builds on these programs and explores new ways to increase residential waste diversion by increasing education, supporting neighbor-led efforts and building partnerships with homeowner association (HOAs), multi-family properties and other residential groups.
Components
- Identify opportunities to increase diversion of waste collected through the large item cleanup program, recycling drop-off locations and other City services.
- Work with HOAs and private waste collectors to increase residential diversion rates.
- Develop and distribute information about waste reduction, common recycling errors and myths, composting at home, hard-to-recycle items and access to disposal facilities.
- Support neighborhood-led swap and cleanup efforts.
- Continue the household hazardous waste collection program and explore options to expand to multi-family properties.
