Do You Recycle? Challenge

Under this unique recycling program, Live Thrive, in partnership with The Recycling Partnership is offering property managers and staff of multi-family properties the opportunity to create solutions for their residents to easily and effectively recycle! This challenge provides multi-family communities the tools and guidance needed to deliver and track recycling access and education to all residents.
Program involvement will challenge multi-family communities to commit to reduce waste to landfills, improve recycling outcomes, and empower residents to do their part.
Since Atlanta is home to nearly 1,500 multi-family properties, representing 140,000+ homes, it is an ideal place for the Do You Recycle Challenge to focus.
Over the past 12 months, through phase one of the program, best recycling practices and outcomes for multifamily properties have been refined. This next phase in Fall 2022 will expand to include more properties. Future participating properties have the opportunity to attend training and use educational material provided with additional support from Live Thrive.
