Hi Anne! That's great to hear you are working towards zero waste and plastic free; we're excited to have you join and support us in this movement! We actually do currently offer a few incentives for organics at multifamily properties. As part of our multifamily recycling program we offer grants to incentivize properties to implement organics recycling. A few things we offer include individual in unit small compost bins and bags and the opportunity for the County to cover part of organics hauling service. For more information check out our website (under grants, resources, and assistance): https://www.hennepin.us/apartmentrecycling. I recommend sharing this with your property manager!
