Tenant Education
This web site offers free information and resources to help apartment (5 units or more) and condominium managers comply with Seattle's recycling regulations and organize a successful recycling program for their tenants.
New recycling rules
Beginning January 1, 2005, City of Seattle Ordinance 121372 prohibits recyclable paper, cardboard, glass and plastic bottles, and aluminum and tin cans in garbage containers (this includes cans, detachable containers and drop boxes). Food-soiled paper is not recyclable. The City will conduct random visual inspections, and if significant amounts of recyclables are found dumped in the garbage, notices on proper recycling methods will be provided.
After January 1, 2006, up to two warning notices and educational materials will be provided at apartments and condominiums before an additional collection charge of $50 to the garbage account holder is levied.
