Apartment Recycling in Davis
If you live in an apartment complex with ten or more units, you receive communal recycling service. Recycling carts are located in or near your trash enclosures. Most complexes have two carts: one for mixed paper and one for plastic, glass and metal containers. Flatten cardboard and stack it next to the recycling carts or garbage.
Most apartments properties in Davis have an iBIN (in-apartment recycling bin) in each unit. These iBINs make it easier for residents to collect and transport recycling from their apartments to the recycling carts in their community's trash enclosure. iBINs are available at no cost to multi-family properties in Davis. Interested apartment residents, property managers, home owners associations and other multi-family community leaders and residents are encouraged to contact the City of Davis Public Works Department at 757-5686 or via email (pwweb@cityofdavis.org) with your property name, address and number of units, to see if your property qualifies to receive iBINs for your residents.

Apartment Move-Out Waste Reduction Program
Every year the City of Davis Recycling Program teams up with apartment managers to encourage reuse of items and reduce the amount of waste that happens during the yearly August move-out. Davis Recycling staff sets up donation stations at participating apartment properties, and residents donate items they no longer want or need. Local non-profit groups and other apartment residents stop by and take the items they want. The end result is that good, usable items are kept out of the trash. There is also a possibility of waste disposal savings for apartment managers. During the 2006 move out, many participating apartment properties experienced a reduction in generated waste. More information on the Apartment Move-Out program.
