Managing food scraps in multi-unit residential settings poses unique challenges which are complicated by having multiple parties involved. There's no "one-size-fits-all" answer: solutions need to be tailored to the specific circumstances of each property, such as the presence/absence of common spaces and whether trash and recycling services are shared or serviced for each unit separately. This 60-minute session is designed to help landlords, property managers, homeowners' associations, and others responsible for communal waste contracts understand and navigate their options and obligations. Join us to learn more about best-practices for each type of multi-residential setting to comply with the new food waste requirements that went into effect in July.
