City of Buffalo and Recycling Partnership Launch Collaboration
The City of Buffalo, in partnership with The Recycling Partnership, launched a Multi-Unit Apartment Building Recycling Initiative called “Let’s Do This Together!”. This initiative aims to increase recycling collection at 1,500 apartment units and 300 apartment buildings, located in neighborhoods citywide.
“As part of this new program, the City is excited to work directly with property managers, landlords and tenants who occupy apartment buildings, providing them with a host of outreach and educational materials to drive measurable change.,” said Mayor Byron W. Brown. “We look forward to keeping even more valuable recyclables out of landfills while improving the quality of recyclables that support Buffalo’s continuously growing recycling industry.”
The “Let’s Do This Together!” Apartment Recycling Program works with property managers and residents to bring the City’s 34 and More Buffalo Recycles Program to their buildings. As part of the program, the city provides free collection to participating multi-unit residential apartment buildings, as well as recycling education. Buildings also receive apartment-size recycling collection reusable totes, customizable assets, and on-site education and outreach for residents.
“The Recycling Partnership, with support from the Coca-Cola Foundation, is honored to partner with the City of Buffalo to convenient access to recycling at multi-unit properties across the community,” said Chris Coady, Director of Community Programs at The Recycling Partnership. “When combined with direct-to-resident education and outreach, this new initiative will further improve the City’s recycling program, support local jobs, and keep valuable recyclables out of the landfill.”
