Multi-Family Move In Guide

Welcome to the neighborhood. By following the tips and resources listed here, you will help our community to reduce waste, conserve resources, and comply with State and local laws.

REDUCE: Choose durable and reusable products instead of single-use disposable options. Buy in bulk or select products with less packaging.
RE– USE: Refurbish and repair items that are worthwhile. Sell or donate unwanted items that are still in good condition, don’t dispose.
RECYCLE: Place appropriate items in your Recyclables cart/bin. They’ll be made into new products.
ROT: Put food scraps, food-soiled paper, and yard trimmings in your Organics cart/bin. They’ll be turned into compost.

 

Multi-family homes within the City of San Leandro must sort their recyclables from their garbage. Learn more at RecyclingRulesAC.org.

 

 

DON’T TRASH YOUR PACKING MATERIALS!

Ask your property manager if another resident is moving out and could use them. If the answer is “no,” follow these tips:

Moving Boxes: Flatten and place in your blue Recyclables cart/bin, or contact a local moving company like U-Haul; they may accept gently-used boxes for donation.

Foam Packing Peanuts and plastic bubble wrap: Drop off at a mailing/shipping center.

Newspaper and Packing Paper: Place in your blue Recyclables cart/bin.

UNWANTED HO– USEHOLD GOODS?

If they’re still in good condition, choose to sell or donate instead of dispose. Try using :

Craigslist.org 

Eastbaygoodwill.org

Freecycle.org

SAtruck.org

Also consider working with a nearby consignment shop, or donating to a favorite church or charity.

Items that are no longer usable can be placed in your Recyclables or Garbage cart/bin. Please sort correctly. To arrange for collection of large items, ask your property manager to contact ACI.
