Can't recycle at home in Miami Dade County? Fix it.

One of the things that we most often get emailed about here at greenerMIAMI is "how in the heck can I recycle?" And the answer isn't always an easy one. However, through the help of the research done by Luiz Rodrigues and ECOMB, we realized that there is a better answer.

Most of us live in apartments or condominiums in which recycling is not offered. Here's the interesting part: it's the law - they have to offer it. It's been the law in Miami Dade for 15 years, in fact. And so, we've put together a page to get you the information you need to know in order to help that law go into effect at your residence.

If you are going to go through the process of trying to get your condo or apartment complex to recycle, please comment on this post and keep us posted throughout the whole process. Hopefully your tips and hard work will make it continually easier for the rest.

To see the details of the recycling ordinance and suggestions on how to make it work for you, please check out:

How to Get Your Condominium or Apartment Complex to Recycle.

Good luck and may the force be with you!
