Apartment/Condominium Recycling Program
The CRD is committed to reducing waste and increasing the amount of materials recycled. As part of this commitment, the CRD developed an apartment program in 2000 that provides funding to apartment owners and managers to help pay for private collection services for recyclables.
In 2005, the CRD expanded the apartment recycling program by providing free bin decals to all service providers to ensure consistent information and signage for collection containers.

Apartment Tote Bags 
Since 2006, the CRD has distributed nearly 37,000 free reusable recycling tote bags to apartment and condominium units in the region. The goal is to increase recycling participation and reduce contamination in multi-family buildings.
Reusable recycling tote bags are available to all apartment and condominium buildings in the region, with five or more units. The bag is intended to remain in each unit, thus ensuring that the next occupant has access to the same service. Additional tote bags are available at CRD Reception at 625 Fisgard Street, for $3.00 each.
