What are my responsibilities as the owner of a multi-family dwelling?
Multi-family recycling differs from single home residential programs because building managers must work with waste haulers to develop recycling programs that suit the available space, that are accessible, and that meet the needs of the residents. If you don’t have a program in place yet, you must initiate one to be in compliance with the law. Tenants will likely be asking you specific questions about where they should put their recyclables. If you need assistance or have questions about the law, or if you would like posters, lease addenda, or other printed information about recycling, contact us at besmart@csd.uwm.edu.
