Los Angeles Apartments Get Free Recycling
We saw a great public service announcement yesterday from the Apartment Marketing Blog for Los Angeles apartments. Apparently the city of Los Angeles will provide free resources to apartments for rent with 5 or more units.
The Department of Public Works in LA will provide free recycling services once a week, free blue bins for recycling as well as educational materials for residents. All multifamily residential buildings such as apartments, townhomes, condominiums and mobile home parks that have at least 5 units are eligible for this great new service.
This program is a great way for landlords to allow their renters to go green in their apartments. Recycling is one of The Three R's and is probably the easiest ways to green your apartment in Los Angeles. The fact that it is free makes it that much easier for landlords to get their tenants into the habit of recycling.
If you are a tenant and would like to let your landlord know of this great service you can call 1-800-773-2489 or send an email to multifamily@lacity.org.
For more information on how to go green in your apartment, check out our apartment guide and our green apartment living blog posts. We are staying on top of the latest news to help renters and apartment owners to go green.
Not only can it help save the environment, which, according to today's report from the EPA, we should all be concerned about, but often times it can help you save money. We are glad to see that cities like LA are helping the multifamily industry become even more eco-friendly.
What kinds of things do you do to make your apartment green?

That is awesome! Our town doesn't have any recycling services, we have to bring our recyclables to the center on our own. More complexes should offer services like that… our condo building has 5 units in it, so it would be perfect
You should submit this to next week's All Things Eco.
