- Educate your residents: In your move out packet, clearly highlight the fines associated with leaving items behind. Include this information on newsletters and other resident message boards. Promoting a clean community benefits everyone and it starts with being proactive.
- Cameras: Real or fake, a camera around your dumpsters will make residents think twice about tossing a mattress or couch. It also helps prevent people outside the community from using your property as their personal landfill.
- Signage: Hang visible signs highlighting the fines associated with dumping bulky items at the dumpster. Most communities have outdated signs, ask us about free signage.
- Take action: Unfortunately you can’t eliminate illegal dumping entirely. So when items do pop up, get them removed ASAP. Letting junk build up around the property invites residents and their guests to dispose their junk.
- Partnerships: Partner with a local junk removal service and offer residents discounted rates on hauling. This makes you look like a rockstar by saving them money and helps reduce disposal costs. At Music City Removal we partner with communities throughout Greater Nashville. Providing their residents extremely discounted rates. The more junk removed at the resident level means less coming out of your budget.
