Though recycling at work is a lot
like recycling at home, there are some differences. The biggest
difference is in the kinds and quantity of materials.
Different businesses produce different waste
streams.
-
Offices make lots of white copy and computer paper.
-
Retail stores generate loads of corrugated cardboard.
-
Eating establishments produce many cans and bottles.
-
Educational institutions generate a wide variety of materials, depending on where you are.
Those responsible for recycling, must carefully plan for the differences in various kinds of businesses and institutions. Receptacle size, placement, and labeling are especially important. Be sure to have recycling containers right next to trash containers. When given the choice, most people will do the right thing!
