Aligned With Denton Commercial Diversion & Multifamily Recycling Expectations
Denton is not a “trash only” market for multifamily properties. The City of Denton’s Commercial Diversion program requires multi-family, business, government, and commercial entities to create a diversion plan that recycles or diverts materials away from disposal at the City of Denton Landfill.
Mandate Type: Commercial Diversion Ordinance / mandatory diversion plan for multifamily and commercial properties.
Applicability Threshold: Multifamily communities and commercial accounts in the City of Denton; no unit-count threshold located.
Denton properties may implement a diversion plan by contracting with the City of Denton, using a registered third-party Collection & Transportation service, or self-hauling divertible material to an appropriate management facility. Annual diversion plan reporting is part of the City’s framework.

Denton Diversion Compliance Made Operational
A diversion plan only works when residents understand what to do every night. National Doorstep turns Denton recycling requirements into a repeatable resident routine: trash at the door, recycling education in the lease packet, contamination controls at the enclosure, and service documentation that helps property teams stay organized.
- Resident education: Move-in instructions, signage, and reminders that explain what belongs in trash vs. recycling.
- Cleaner enclosures: Doorstep pickup reduces overflow pressure at dumpsters, compactors, and recycling containers.
- Contamination reduction: Clear bag, tote, and set-out rules reduce food waste, plastic bags, furniture, and other non-recyclables in recycling streams.
- Documentation support: Photo-verified service history and porter reporting help property teams maintain inspection-ready records.
- Bulk-item control: Optional bulk-item removal helps keep furniture and illegal dumping away from recycling and trash areas.
