Locating dumpsters and bins in areas that are out of sight but easy to access will cut down on germs, noise pollution, and odor while preserving the visual appeal of your community. Due to COVID-19, people are generating more garbage from eating at home while at the same time looking for no-contact trash solutions. Waste disposal areas are also germ magnets. They may also attract rodents and other pests. If dumpsters are placed too close to common areas, they may create an unsightly, smelly experience for residents and deter prospective residents. Poorly designed waste disposal areas can also be hazardous to your health, not to mention a turnoff. In some cases, unsecured dumpsters and compactors have pinned people against walls or cars, while unlocked receptacles provide an attractive nuisance to dumpster divers, who may fall in and injure themselves. Without adequate clearance, dumpsters and compactors can damage property, vehicles, or, worse, injure residents. When designing multifamily facilities, developers often focus on where to place structural elements and parking spaces but treat waste disposal as an afterthought, which can create serious consequences in terms of safety. Moreover, while recycling rates have increased in recent years, recycling is still a better deal than sending trash to the local landfill. Today’s renters, particularly millennials, prioritize sustainability, which means that communities that offer a recycling program can often charge roughly $500 more in rent per unit over those that do not. Waste disposal isn’t always top of mind when designing multifamily facilities, but properly configuring disposal and recycling areas and investing in the right compactor can cut costs and increase rental revenue, while also being a real draw for residents. Improve the profitability and safety of multifamily facilities with a well-designed trash and recycling area.
