Who Can Use an Office Paper Recycling Program?
Any company, large or small, can implement a paper recycling
program. If you are a small company with 20 office workers or less,
you can either take your paper to a recycling center or join
together with other companies in your building and recycle
together. By joining together, you will easily produce enough
paper to hire a recycler to pick up your paper.
Before you begin to develop your recycling program, contact your
building manager to find out if a recycling program is being
planned. If not, try to encourage the manager to help you start
one. If there are other tenants in your building, it will help if
the manager knows that other tenants also want to recycle. It's
important to involve the building manager because this person
will be important when it comes time to set up a paper collection
system and hire a recycler.
In general, office paper recycling programs can be implemented
anywhere there are people throwing away office paper. This would
include:
- Commercial businesses
- Institutions and civic organizations
- Schools
- Libraries
- Hospitals
- Government offices
- Multi-tenant commercial buildings and complexes
