Supporting your tenants
Keeping residents informed about their multi-family waste services will help keep your building clean, and make sure your waste programs are used correctly.
Tell your residents about the program
As part of Waste Bylaw 4M2020, you must provide education to residents once per year as well as when a new resident moves in.
The information package must explain:
- Location of garbage, recycling and compost bins;
- List of materials that go into each container; and
- Proper method for preparing and sorting waste material for collection.
This information needs to be communicated to residents in either:
- Written format – paper copies in mailboxes, posted on each door, under doors, and/or in orientation packages; or
- Electronic communications via email.
Tip: Add this annual task to your regular maintenance list and tie it with an existing line item to save on time and expenses e.g. send out to condo owners with AGM packages, provide info to tenants during annual smoke detector inspections etc.
