Friends of Recycling and Composting (FORCs) - $100 credit
A FORC educates residents and monitors containers for greater recycling and food waste collection success at your property. View FORC information (pdf). For your property to receive a one-time $100 credit on your utility bill:
- Your property must have five or more units.
- You must sign up a Friend of Recycling & Composting (FORC). Properties that signed up a Friend of Recycling (FOR) in the past can get a second $100 credit by signing up a FORC.
- The FORC must complete and sign the pledge form found in the green resource folder mailed to the FORC after sign-up. To start fulfilling required pledge actions, see pledge requirements (pdf). (Please do not download this pledge. Only the pledge in the green folder is accepted for credit.) After the FORC returns the completed pledge to SPU, allow up to two billing periods for the credit to show on your account.
