Waste & Recycling Guide

Proper waste disposal and recycling help maintain a clean and sustainable environment at The Atrium Condominiums. Residents are required to follow these guidelines to ensure compliance with local regulations and community standards.

General Waste Disposal

  • Household trash must be securely bagged and placed in the designated waste bins.
  • Do not leave trash bags or bulk items in hallways, common areas, or outside unit doors.
  • If a bin is full, use the next available bin rather than overfilling.
  • Large or bulky waste items must be disposed of through special collection services. Contact property management for guidance.

Recycling Guidelines

  • Recycling bins are available for paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, and metals.
  • Cardboard boxes must be flattened before being placed in recycling bins.
  • Contaminated items (e.g., food-covered containers, non-recyclable plastics) should not be placed in recycling bins.
  • Check local recycling rules to ensure proper disposal of materials.

Donation & Free Items Area

  • A designated space in the garbage area is available for residents to place items they no longer need but are still in good working condition.
  • This is not a dumping ground! Only working items in decent shape should be placed in this area. Broken or unusable items must be properly disposed of. Large items like appliances or furniture (couches, cabinets) need to be disposed of by the owners.
  • Items left in this space are free for other residents to take.
  • After a few weeks, unclaimed items will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.

Hazardous Waste & Special Disposal

  • Items such as batteries, electronics, paint, and chemicals require special disposal.
  • Do not place hazardous materials in regular trash or recycling bins.
  • Contact local waste management or property management for disposal options.

Enforcement & Fines

  • Improper waste disposal or failure to follow recycling rules may result in fines.
  • Repeat violations could lead to additional penalties or further action.
  • If you have questions regarding proper disposal, contact property management.

By following these waste and recycling guidelines, residents contribute to a cleaner, healthier community. For any concerns or special disposal needs, please reach out to property management.
