Garbage and Recycling

Red Door Housing Society struggles with the issues of recycling and gar-

bage dumping on our sites. We have the proper bins for recycling that

are clearly marked but still some tenants can’t seem to get the proper

items in the proper bins or in some cases in the bins at all. This may

seem like no big deal but the mess created not only attracts Rats, Ra-

coons and in some cases bears and someone has to clean it up and it is a

costly unnecessary expense. If the Society spends money on this it can’t

spend money on the units or improving the complexes. It may also in the

future when Red Door is no longer funded by BC Housing force rent in-

creases that are not rent geared to income. This is your home recycle

properly and do not dump your larger items on the site.
