\"Helena<\/a>When it comes to new multifamily communities, nowadays it\u2019s pretty much \u201cGo Green or Go Home.\u201d And that\u2019s a very good thing. With more and more people conscientious about protecting and preserving the environment, developers are taking note and incorporating eco-friendly features into the buildings. Whether it\u2019s building to qualify for a LEED rating, incorporating Energy Star appliances into the units, or including a charging station for electric cars, the multifamily industry is becoming more and more sustainable.<\/p>\n

And New York City has certainly stepped up its green game. The Helena<\/strong>, a multifamily community on the Upper West Side in Manhattan, is the first to utilize the Organics Collection Program<\/a>. This program allows residents to compost items such as fruits, vegetables, egg shells, pasta, tea bags, coffee grounds and filters, bones, flowers, houseplants and soiled tissues. The residents are given small containers to sort their organics, which they deposit in bins in the trash room. So, they\u2019re already making the trip down there\u2014what could be simpler? All said and done, this program will divert an impressive 35 percent of resident waste at The Helena from landfills.<\/p>\n

Hopefully more communities in Manhattan\u2014and throughout the country\u2014will start to participate in this or similar composting programs. And we can be sure that multifamily will continue to show its true colors (shades of green, obviously!).<\/p>\n
