Multifamily and Apartment Recycling

Nearly 25% of Clackamas County's population lives in multifamily communities. Multifamily communities include condos, apartments, townhomes, retirement and assisted living and mobile home parks with five or more units. They are provided with one of two types of solid waste and recycling service — commercial dumpster service or individual cart service. The service received depends on the unique space and capacity characteristics of each community.

Property owners and managers are required to provide residents with access to recycling. If garbage or recycling is not provided at your community, please contact a Clackamas County Multifamily Waste Reduction Specialist to get started.
