Recycling in Your Building

If you live in or manage an apartment building, you can help improve recylcing in your building. You can help your tenants learn more about waste prevention and how to reuse and recycle. NYC can be a greener city with your help.

The place to learn is through the NYC Apartment Building Recycling Initiative (ABRI). Work with the Department of Sanitation to educate yourself and your building's tenants about the three R's.

When you sign up with ABRI, you'll be invited to a training session on how to improve recycling conditions in apartment buildings (there are several upcoming sessions in April and June). Then, sanitation outreach coordinators will visit your building to see how recycling is set up and to give you free recycling decals, posters, checklists, and other materials to make recycling easier for residents. Throughout your training, you'll have access to sanitation experts for support.
