When a Lakewood apartment resident asks the city about recycling, the city sends them to their property manager. Boss Bins gives you a good answer.
Local rules
How trash works in Lakewood
Lakewood does not contract with haulers on behalf of residents. The city's guidance for apartment residents is to contact their property manager about waste diversion options, and residents of complexes without recycling are pointed to the city's Quail Street Recycling Center.
In practice, the trash and recycling experience at a Lakewood community is whatever the property provides.
