As a manager of an apartment building, it’s wise to frequently review the property’s practices so you can achieve optimum efficiency, costs, and tenant satisfaction. One way to provide a boost to all those categories is by installing a recycling program in your building.

Why You Should Have a Recycling Program in Your Building

1. Environmental Support

Creating a recycling program in your building will help reduce the burden on local landfills. Overcrowded landfills release methane gases and other fumes, which contribute to the warming climate and pollution. Plus, many tenants take pride in doing what they can to help the environment, so they’ll appreciate this eco-friendly step.

2. Lower Costs

A building can reap direct savings from recycling. When you set up a separate stream for glass, paper, and other recyclable materials, less trash heads to the landfill. That decreased load will result in lower garbage fees for the building. 

3. Community Building

Having a common goal brings people together. Tenants forming a united front to combat waste will lead to more conversation about rules and best practices, and, in turn, increased fraternity among those in the building.

4. Perception

A building committed to recycling is seen as a modern and responsive property that cares about the future. That perception will make prospective tenants feel like the building is well-run and considerate. Additionally, it can make current tenants feel good about their home, making them more likely to renew their lease.
