Apartments

Information for apartment buildings on available household bin services, responsibilities and how to set up compliant waste and recycling systems in the Inner West.

Living in an apartment brings its own special set of challenges when it comes to managing your waste, recycling and food scraps. While you may be keen to recycle right, your neighbour might not. Inner West Council can support you by providing information, workshops and legal resources.

If you are a resident, a strata owner, strata manager, building manager or just someone with questions about waste management in an apartment building, contact us at rethink.waste@innerwest.nsw.gov.au
