A friend asked me this question the other day - she's in an apartment building that is more than 6-units - so the City does not pick up their recyclabes curbside.
The answer: Yes, it does.
In addition to offering free recycling pick up for residents (residential units with less than 7 units/apartments) through its curbside program, New Haven has a Recycling Center.
New Haven residents and businesses can self haul recyclables to the Recycling Drop-off Center Monday through Saturdays - 9am - 12noon. They close if there is a storm (snow, tornado, etc.).
The Recycling Center is located at the City's Transfer Station at 260 Middletown Avenue. Check out the City's Recycling website for more info.
What can you recycle at the Recycling Center? The same materials acceptable in the curbside program - mixed paper (newsprint, magazines, and junk mail), cardboard, and mixed bottles and cans (plastic, glass and metal food containers, laundry jugs, milk cartons, orange juice jugs etc).
Check out the City's Recycling flyer on what is and is not currently acceptable in their recycling program.

But ... isn't that >6-unit apartment building required to provide recycling for the tenants?
ReplyDeleteYes. If an apartment building has 1-6 units, the City picks up the trash and recycling curbside. Greater than 6 and it's up to the owner of the building.
