Trash and recycling systems for SF households
Locate the building’s trash, recycling, and compost bins and learn the pickup schedule from the lease-holder or property manager. Label indoor containers, keep liners stocked, and assign a person or rotation for taking bins out and bringing them back.
Keep containers accessible but away from food-prep space. Break down boxes and do not let bags accumulate by the door.
If you are unsure what belongs in a bin, check the current local guidance rather than guessing. A simple system keeps common areas cleaner and avoids building complaints.
