Expanded Recycling Program – Step aside paper and plastic, at Gema residents can enjoy an expanded recycling program including options to recycle paper, glass, plastic, aluminum, and cardboard.

Purchasing and Waste Policy – Gema sets targets to reduce the environmental impact from materials we purchase, use, and dispose of during operations. These are managed and tracked in three main areas

• Site Management – We encourage environmentally sensitive practices around maintenance equipment, organic waste management, fertilizer usage, and irrigation management.

Garbage + Recycling

Garbage and recycling are easy to dispose of with two designated chutes located in the trash rooms on each floor of the community. We encourage you to recycle plastics, paper, cardboard, aluminum, and glass.

Please be sure to break down all cardboard before placing it into the recycling chute or bring it to the trash room dumpster located next to our back elevators on the G level parking garage.

For larger items such as couches, tables, and mattresses, please contact our leasing office to schedule a bulk pick up.

Green Cleaning

Gema uses non-toxic cleaning supplies for building-wide cleaning. We also provide our residents with green cleaning supplies for use in individual apartments upon move-in. If you run out of your cleaning supplies, please visit the office and our team would be happy to refill your bottles for free.

We also encourage you to use laundry and dishwasher detergent that is eco-friendly; and please only use laundry detergent with the “HE” symbol to avoid over-sudsing—our high efficiency washers require less detergent than most.

Maintenance

Maintenance assistance is easy through our resident portal, Active Building, which you can access from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Except in emergencies, staff will address maintenance requests in the order that they are received. For emergencies such as floods, gas leaks, power or water loss, please call 858-463-0753 so they can be addressed immediately.

Pets

At Gema, we love pets! We’re a pet-friendly community, so feel free to bring your furry friend along. We do ask that you be considerate of others and make sure to clean up after your pet and always use a leash outside of your apartment. All animals are required to be registered through PetScreening.

Bike Storage and Maintenance

Our bike room is located on the upper garage of building 750. If you need assistance locating the bike room, please contact our office and we would be happy to show you where to store your bike(s).

Please register your bike(s) with the office and remember to lock your bike for extra security.
