Participate in the NYC Apartment Building Recycling Initiative!
If you satisfy program requirements, you'll work with Sanitation's Bureau of Waste Prevention, Reuse and Recycling (BWPRR) to educate residents and staff in your building about the three R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Once you sign up with NYC ABRI, here's what will happen:
1. You'll be invited to attend a training session where you'll receive info about how to improve apartment building recycling.
Note: Training sessions are held at the offices of the DSNY Bureau of Waste Prevention, Reuse and Recycling in downtown Manhattan.
Upcoming trainings:
- Thurs, Feb 16, 1:30 to 3:30pm
- Tues, March 13, 3 to 5pm
We can do specially scheduled on-site trainings for at least ten participants. Each participant would need to complete the appropriate registration form below. If you are interested in organizing such a training, please indicate this on the sign-up form.
2. BWPRR outreach staff will visit your building to see how recycling is set up.
3. We'll provide your building (free of charge) with recycling decals, posters, checklists, and other materials to encourage all residents to recycle more.
4. After you have attended the training, you'll receive personalized suggestions on how to improve your building's recycling set up. Throughout your participation, you'll have access to BWPRR recycling experts, whom you can contact for recycling pointers and support.
