How can I get my apartment complex to agree to offer recycling options to its residents?

Question

The management at my off-campus student housing has decided not to have any recycling on our premises, therefore, hundreds of students are throwing away thousands of pounds of recyclable items. What can I do to change this?

Answer 1

Organise a petition and get as many residents to sign it as you can. With everyones support, you could demand it. Power To The People!

Answer 2

Try and find something to do so you dont have time to worry over stuff like this. Knitting is good.

Answer 3

Maybe you can put your own boxes out there and take it upon yourself to make sure the recyclables get to the appropriate sorting sites.  I know that's a huge endeavor, but if your office won't budge, it might be your only option.  I live in an area where recycling is also not offered, so I have to gather up all my stuff and take it to the recycling center.  If you've got access to a truck, you could also take other people's stuff.  Just an idea.  Good luck.
