Portland Multifamily Recycling

Partner: City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability

Start Date: 1989

Duration: Current

The Portland Multifamily Recycling (PMF) project assists the City of Portland in providing recycling outreach and education to residents, property managers and maintenance staff at multifamily communities in Portland. Over 3700 multifamily communities have received outreach and education assistance from CES in the past 3 years.

The PMF project ensures recycling systems are up to date, and that all residents, property managers and community  staff are informed of changes or improvements to the Portland multifamily recycling services. Project staff frequently participate in evaluative research projects to assess the appropriateness of outreach methods, outreach objectives and educational materials.

The current PMF project is based on a long standing relationship with the City of Portland.  CES began with the implementation of a multifamily recycling pilot project in 1989 and since then has partnered with the City of Portland to provide ongoing recycling assistance to multifamily communities.  Over the past two years, CES has been instrumental in the identification and targeting of new multifamily developments as part of a focused effort to expand and improve the city’s multifamily recycling program.
