Recycling Programs

It's no secret that recycling is good for the environment. But did you know that it can also be good for your bottom line? That's right - by setting up an effective recycling program, you can not only reduce your company's environmental footprint, but you can also save money on waste disposal costs.

Determine What Can Be Recycled

The first step in setting up an effective recycling program is to determine what materials can be recycled. While most people know that items like glass and aluminum cans can be recycled, you may be surprised to learn that many other items can be recycled as well. 

For example, did you know that: 

- Newspaper and magazines can be recycled 

- Cardboard boxes can be recycled 

- Plastic bottles and containers can be recycled 

- Steel cans can be recycled 

- Fluorescent light bulbs can be recycled 

- Batteries can be recycled

By determining what materials can be recycled, you'll have a better idea of what needs to be collected. 

Set Up Collection Bins

Once you know what materials need to be collected, the next step is to set up collection bins. If possible, place the bins in high-traffic areas so that they're easy for employees and customers to access. You might even want to label the bins so that people know exactly what goes in each one. For example, you could have a bin for paper recyclables, one for plastic recyclables, and one for metal recyclables. 

 Have A Recycling Company Pick Up The Bins Once They're Full

Once your bins are full, it's time to have a recycling company pick them up. This is important because it ensures that the materials are properly disposed of. Many companies offer this service, so shop around to find one that best meets your needs. And there you have it - tips for setting up an effective recycling program! By following these tips, you'll not only reduce your company's environmental footprint - you'll also save money on waste disposal costs. So why wait? Get started today!
