You cannot train residents the way you train employees. No shift, no onboarding, no supervision, and a population that turns over every year. What actually works is picture based bilingual signage at the container, kitchen caddies, and permanent move in integration rather than a launch email.

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.

Switching haulers is allowed. The risk is the gap between the old container leaving and the new one arriving, which is where properties end up non compliant for a week. Sequencing, notice requirements, what to update afterward, and the contract clause that quietly re-ups you for another term.

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.
