Condo Smarts: Recycling issue can be decided by council vote

Dear Tony: Does the strata council require the approval of the owners at a general meeting to expand our recycling and waste management? We are a large strata community over 200 units and have been approached to do fabric and clothing recycling. It would include carpeting from renovations and all types of fabrics, as well as clothing that can be repurposed. However, a council member has raised a number of objections to the recycling.

.

Waste diversion and recycling is an obligation we all share; however, it cannot be at the expense of an owner’s use and enjoyment of their home. If there are doubts about owner support, put a majority resolution on the next annual meeting agenda to direct council’s implementation of a broader recycling program. Before you proceed, check your local government web site for programs and initiatives that support multi family communities on waste diversion.
