Kuester Management Group Promotes Smarter Plastic Recycling to Build Greener Communities

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Rezul -- Recycling plastic effectively is a crucial step in creating cleaner, greener neighborhoods. Kuester Management Group, a leading provider of association management services across North and South Carolina, is helping communities improve their recycling efforts by sharing actionable advice for smarter plastic recycling within an HOA.

"As stewards of community well-being, we aim to equip HOA residents with the tools and knowledge they need to make a positive environmental impact," said Bryan Kuester, President of Kuester Management Group. "Recycling is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to protect our planet and strengthen the communities we serve."

One key piece of advice is to understand the recycling codes found on plastic items. These codes, numbered 1 through 7, indicate the type of plastic and whether it can be recycled locally. Familiarizing yourself with these codes helps ensure that recyclable materials make it into the proper bins.

Kuester also stresses the importance of rinsing plastics before recycling. Leftover food and liquids can contaminate an entire batch of recyclables, rendering them unusable. A quick rinse of containers ensures they are clean and ready for processing, improving the efficiency of the recycling system—and key to ensuring no waste is left at the curb on garbage pick-up day.

Another common pitfall is "wishcycling"—placing non-recyclable items in the recycling bin with the hope that they will be processed. Items like plastic bags, greasy food containers, and certain types of packaging often require specialized disposal methods. HOA residents are encouraged to research local guidelines or utilize designated drop-off locations for such items. It is important not to include this refuse with other items to be recycled.

Reducing reliance on single-use plastics is another effective way to lessen waste. Kuester Management Group encourages residents to opt for reusable bags, bottles, and containers whenever possible. Simple changes, like carrying a reusable water bottle or shopping with cloth bags, can significantly reduce the amount of plastic waste generated.

Kuester Management Group also highlights the importance of following local recycling rules, as programs vary widely by location. Knowing which plastics are accepted and how they should be prepared can make a big difference in recycling success rates—and can lower costs for HOAs as well as homeowners while also protecting property values.
