Do You Recycle at Work?

What's Under Your Desk at Work?

Do you have both a trash and recycling bin? If you do, download this handy poster to make sure you and your colleagues are throwing the right things in the right bin. Here's a quick tip: Recycle at work like you do at home. If you aren't sure you are recycling correctly at home, then the flyer will help fine tune those skills too.

Starting a Workplace Recycling Program
Do you cringe when you see paper and cardboard, glass or aluminum going into the garbage because your workplace does not have recycling? If so, we encourage you to follow our guide to help your office begin a recycling program.


Leasing Office Space or & Renting an Apartment?
Not all office space comes with recycling collection, but there are steps that can be taken to change that. Apartment dwellers can find themselves without recycling service as well because most cities view apartments as businesses and therefore don't provide residential curbside service options. If your property or apartment management doesn't offer recycling, urge them to start; let them know this is a priority to their tenants. They can follow the same steps outlined under Workplace Recycling. If the service is added, consider helping to educate the other tenants or renters on local recycling guidelines.
