If your building has a garbage chute, be sure to refer to the signage around it for directions on proper use. In all cases, make sure that items are securely tied in a small bag prior to being disposed of. Loose garbage and large items should not be thrown down the chutes at any time.

Yes! All Greenwin buildings have a recycling program. When disposing of waste, please remember to separate materials carefully, as it is important to minimize contamination. If garbage is mixed with recycling, the contaminated loads cannot be recycled. In addition, cardboard boxes should be broken down prior to placing them in the bin to preserve space. For details on what goes where, see above.

Many of our buildings currently feature a compost stream, and we are actively in the process of extending this option to all buildings equipped with the necessary infrastructure. To determine if your building already has an organics stream in place, ask your site team.

Large items, including appliances, mattresses, furniture, tires, TVs, large metal items, and anything else that does not reasonably fit into a waste bin, must be taken directly to a public waste drop-off center or be picked up by a garbage removal service arranged by the resident. To keep our buildings safe and sanitary, items are not to be left on the floor anywhere in the building or outside of the bins in the garbage areas.

Be sure to check with your site team to see if we offer e-waste collection on site. Otherwise, electronic waste should be taken to your buildings designated location for oversized items or a designated e-waste collection location. This ensures proper recycling and prevents environmental harm that could be caused by improper disposal.

If you notice improper use of the waste management systems available at your building, report these instances to your site team. They can further support in educating other residents on proper waste management as well as take the necessary steps to ensure the issue does reoccur.
