Apartment Living Program
Do you live in an apartment and would like to improve recycling in your building? More than 20 percent of Hornsby Shire residents live in apartment buildings which generally have lower rates of recycling than single dwellings.
Council has developed the ‘Apartment Living Program’ to assist residents with making improvements to the quality and quantity of recycling collected in their apartment. This free service includes a bin inspection and assessment, free signage and bin stickers, information packs and letters for residents, and more. Building/strata managers, owner’s corporations or residents can nominate their building to be part of this new program. For more information or to register your building please email waste@hornsby.nsw.gov.au
