Digested From "Tamarron's 'Green' Community Wins 2009 County Recycling Award"
PRNewswire
Home Properties' Tamarron Apartments community in Olney, Md., has received Montgomery County's 2009 Recycling Achievement Award. Recycling has been an important part of Home Properties' overall operation for years. Tamarron property manager Pat Eacho comments, "Our recycling program has been an on-going effort since the 1990s. Home Properties provided us with a budget this year that allowed us to purchase several additional recycling toters and invest in a new scrap metal program. We now have 12 toters overall for the 132 apartment homes here." Tamarron's recycling success can be attributed to several other factors. The first is education, as the community hosts bi-annual, on-site seminars in which a county recycling expert visits and distributes up-to-date information on area recycling. Community management also keeps residents informed by sending out event fliers and posting announcements on the community's Web site. Home Properties is a Virginia-based apartment REIT that owns and manages multifamily housing communities throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast Florida regions. Currently, the company's portfolio contains 109 apartment communities boasting 37,539 rental units.
