We all know the importance of waste recycling processes when we’re at home. However, it’s just as important - if not more so - to ensure that we all commit to recycling at work as well. If you’re a business owner, we’ve created a brief guide to help you improve your waste recycling at work.
The best way to improve the waste recycling process at your office is to first complete an audit of the work you already do. Take a look through the waste your produce, from paper and print cartridges to cardboard and food, and make notes on the ways that each type of waste is disposed of or recycled and you may discover room for improvement.
There’s much more than just paper, card and plastic to be recycled at your office. In fact, electronic items can cause more damage to the environment when sent to landfill sites than most other materials. The chemicals and toxins found in phones, laptops and other electronic equipment will leach down into the ground and can cause groundwater contamination. With that in mind, it’s essential to consider WEEE waste recycling services to ensure all of your waste is recycled responsibly.
If your office has a kitchen, you and your employees will likely be throwing tea bags, old fruit and other organic items into the bin. By separating the organic waste into recycling containers, you can ensure that everything in your office is recycled. Providing training to your staff will ensure that no one simply throws waste away any longer.
