Neighbors @ 620 Peachtree

I'm the chair of the Green Team and have been working on getting a successful recycling program started. The Windsor Over Peachtree is the proud provider of a new recycling program.

Note: We're also looking into door-to-door recycling pick-up.

We currently have recycling bins on the sidewalk in the loading dock area- 3 for paper, 4 for other recyclables. Recyclables must be separated per type. All papers (newspaper, phonebooks, magazines, office paper, junk mail, and catalogs) must go into the bins labeled "Newspaper/Office Paper Only." Other recyclables (aluminum cans, foil, pie pans, plastic containers and bottles, glass, stell/tin cans) must be placed in the bins labeled "Plastic, Glass, and Aluminum." For convenience, the trash can located in the mail room is now a paper recycling only bin.

Recycling guidelines are also posted in trash chute rooms. Please do not remove the guidelines from this locations- pamphlets are being created to explain the recycling program in full detail for all residents.

The program was brought about in large part by a city ordinance signed November 13, 2007 mandating that multi-family dwellings accept recyclables. The building must collect at least all items collected by the City of Atlanta (paper, aluminum, glass, and plastics). In response to this mandate, the Windsor has signed on with Allied Waste Management and CONservation EXcellence Recycling Corporation (CONEX).
