We are committed to assisting municipal governments and property management groups with improving the convenience and volume of multi-family recycling.
The Blue/Clear Bag Doorstep Recycling Collection System
Our unique Blue/Clear Bag Doorstep Recycling Collection System is paired with the insight of our collection technology, Doorstep Details.
Residents are allowed to place co-mingled recyclables (paper, plastics, glass, and metal) in their Blue/Clear Bag. Recycle-filled, blue/clear bags can be placed at the resident’s doorstep in concert with their bagged-trash, up to 5-days-per-week.

AWS works with your municipal or private recycling company to ensure their collection containers are free of contaminants. Our Doorstep Recycling collection also increases recycling participation and waste diversion, because our services are so convenient for our apartment residents.

STEP 1:
Trash Preparation
Trash MUST be bagged and tied. Place bagged trash in provided containers. NO LOOSE TRASH and NO LIQUIDS IN TRASH. Double bag cat litter and pet waste. No bags over 25 pounds. No broken glass or sharp objects. No more than 3 bags out at night. No over-sized items such as furniture, TVs, large boxes, etc. Make sure to flatten cardboard.
STEP 2:
Place Container Outside
Use only the provided container. Place container out between 6pm and 8pm. Place container “right-in-front” of your doorstep. Collection starts promptly at 8pm. Containers placed outside after 8pm may miss pickup.
STEP 3:
Bring Container Back Inside
Important! Container MUST be inside by 9am the next day. No containers or trash out during daylight hours. Units with containers or trash out during daylight hours may be fined up to $25 by property management.
How Recycling Works
If you have large amounts of bag recyclables, paper products should be bagged separately from commingled recyclables. Paper products accepted vary by waste collection vendors, but typically include cardboard (flattened and folded), newspapers, magazines, office paper, envelopes, file folders, and phone books. Commingled recyclables include aluminum cans, metal cans, plastic beverage containers, and glass bottles (green, brown and clear.)
