|  The
City’s Mandatory
Recycling Ordinance requires that any
building that generates waste in Cambridge must
recycle.
We provide free recycling "toters" and
weekly curbside collection service to all residential
buildings with 6 units or more. Owner-occupied
multi-family buildings with less than 6 units
are eligible for a toter for paper/cardboard.
Click
here to request a toter. Place recycling
at the curb after 6pm the day before collection
or by 7am on collection
day. Toters must not block the sidewalk
and empty toters must be removed from the curb
by 6pm the day of collection.
If you’ve just moved in, ask your building
manager or landlord how recyclables are handled.
If your building does not have a way for you to
recycle, contact us.
**New multi-family residential developments with
75+ units that request City service are required
to pay a set-up
charge for toters to collect recyclable
materials.
Print and post these flyers above your recycling
"toters" to educate others in your building.
Contact
us for laminated copies.
 
We are available to attend tenant/condo meetings
to make tailored recycling presentations or to
help troubleshoot problems. In addition, we provide
recycling brochures in 5 languages: English,
Spanish,
Haitian
Creole, Chinese
and Portuguese.
We also have a simple, full-color flyer with all
languages, click
here.
Contact
us if you need: educational flyers,
broken recycling toters replaced, more
toters, or more recycling labels to
reduce contamination. These are the labels available:
If your building is not eligible
for free toters from the City and would like to
purchase them, click
here for a list of toters that we know
are compatible with our side-lifting Labrie recycling
trucks.
