Looking for ways to get started on recycling at your office?
- Establish an environmental policy or mission statement committing your company to recycling and preventing waste.
- Create a name or slogan for your recycling program. This will help to promote the concept of recycling amongst employees.
- Write a memo to all employees introducing the program. Include an article detailing the program in your company newsletter.
- Identify employees who are interested in recycling and create a "Green Team." Members of the Green Team can assist with program implementation and lead employee training sessions. They will also serve as a good source of information regarding what works and what needs to be changed as your program moves forward.
- Create contests or incentives to encourage recycling. Initiate a recycling challenge to see which department recycles the most or a waste prevention challenge to encourage new ideas for preventing waste.
- Post lists of recyclable items and methods for proper disposal.
