Practical tips: how our office handles recycling

by Raki Wright | Last Updated December 30, 2015

Here’s how I started a recycling initiative in my office:

1. I located a company and 2 schools near our office that accept mixed paper for recycling.

2. Then, I determined which recycled papers were accepted (office paper, envelopes, phone books, catalogs,

newspapers, junk mail, books, tissue/cereal boxes, etc.).

3. I am the designated person to take the paper for recycling to the location.

4. Next, I put recycling bins at everyone’s desk and in common areas.

5. Finally, I advised staff that I would collect the items at the end of each month and posted a note on each box of the restrictions.
