Introduction According to Pioneer Institute of Public Policy and Research (PIPPR, 2004), a Multi Family Dwelling (MFD) includes buildings with three or more dwelling units constructed on a single lot. Multifamily buildings thus can range from a two duplex house to several buildings of varying forms and sizes. MFDs can be storey apartments or a part of multi-purpose building, new constructions or conversions from old buildings such as two family houses, schools, churches or municipal buildings. Multifamily dwellings will therefore provide rental housing to many families (usually more than three) all together. Handling the enormous domestic waste produced in multifamily dwellings is therefore a challenge within a community due to these interrelated structural and social factors in these residential settings. Single Family Dwelling (SFDs) on the other hand, may have similar characteristics within both the family and the residential community at lager and these facilities smooth coordination of waste recycling programs, contrary to the challenges posed by MFDs units.
