As of October 21st, The Universal Recycling and Composting Ordinance requires every multifamily building owner in San Francisco to separate their refuse into recyclables, compostables and trash. Gone are the good old days of just mixing it all together, right? Right...
Why is this great? Because even landlords have little tree-huggers buried inside them somewhere. Deeper in some than others.
Why is this terrible? Because it stinks, literally. The garbage area in my 13-unit San Francisco building already smells like old milk containers, now my compost is only getting picked up once per week and the level of ripeness is bound to be impressive. And despite the fact that Mayor Newsom said this was not intended to be another vehicle for fines, there are a number of landlords that will simply miss the boat and will incur fines (not to exceed $1,000) and possible liens.
Bottom line: It's a good thing. Where else in the world would you pause to consider where to put your pizza box?
