Multi-Family Recycling Program
The City of Raleigh makes it easy for residents living in apartments, condominiums and townhouses to participate in the Raleigh Recycling program. The program provides collection centers in convenient locations in multi-family communities.
Materials collected for recycling include:
· glass food and beverage containers
· food and beverage cans
· aluminum foil and trays
· plastic bottles
· plastic beverage rings
· milk, juice and laundry softener gable top cartons
· aseptic drink boxes
· newspaper and all inserts
· magazines and catalogs
· white paper, including junk mail
· paperboard, chipboard and paper tubes
To join the program and reduce the amount of solid waste we put in our landfills, complex managers should call Raleigh Recycling at 831-6890. We will be happy to explain how easily multi-family residents can recycle right in their own complex.

This can be accomplished using a private hauler with an onsite cardboard dumpster or maintenance staff may collected it and take it to one of the City's Recycling Drop Off Centers at no charge.
