Just curious - Who told you this? AFAIK, it isn't a 'no-brainer' that recycling saves money. Certainly the 'reduce, reuse' options will definitely save money - but recycling can cost money.CCOVICH said:This is supposed to reduce the cost of waste disposal for developments (or so we've been told).

Once again people need to be clear on what they're talking about - there is a big difference between a management company and a management agent. Many private developments (especially apartment developments but also many housing developments these days) involve a management company which is responsible for aspects of the running and maintenance of the development. Householders are normally members/shareholders of such companies and have full collective control over their operation including the election/appointment of directors etc. In many (most?) cases the management company will engage a management agent on a contractual basis to set budgets, carry out the day to day maintenence etc. Don't confuse the two entities. The management agent is just a contractor working on behalf of the management company (i.e. the householders). If you are a householder then in all likelyhood you are a part owner of the management company and it is not a "them and us" situation. Many people make the mistake of assuming that it is. A management company could decide to dispense with the need for a management agent and manage the development themselves but this will take time and effort on the part of the householders and not everybody is willing to do this. If you have concerns about the way that your development is run then you should get actively involved with the management company and, if necessary, run for election to the board of directors.inchydoney said:I have been abroad recently, and came across such thingsas Owners Associations who can appoint the management company. I think this is good way of doing things as 1 large group of individuals can not be bullied as easily into paying excessive charges.
