Your URCO obligation does not change in January. What changes is that material freezes to container walls, yard trimmings disappear from the volume, holiday food waste spikes, and residents stop walking to an enclosure they have to cross ice to reach. Snow removal is a composting intervention.

Denver requires seven things of every apartment and condo community with 8 or more units. This URCO multifamily checklist walks all seven in dependency order, from confirming your unit count through annual reporting, plus a self audit you can run in ten minutes to see whether your building would pass a license renewal check today.

Melly's Recycling handles Denver's URCO obligation for food businesses, multifamily properties, hotels, and permitted events. We are a compliance company, not a hauler. We build the whole file, keep it current, hand it to you ready for an inspector, and connect you with the licensed haulers worth working with.

Buildings with eight or more dwelling units must provide recycling and composting to residents. Multifamily is the hardest URCO category to execute, because you are asking hundreds of people you do not employ to change a daily habit. Trash room layout, kitchen caddies, and move in integration carry more weight than any resident email.
