How To Develop An Office Recycling Program
A recycling program can reduce disposal costs and add to a company's bottom line. Recycling can reduce the amount of waste your organization sends to the landfill, thereby reducing the amount you pay to have the waste picked up by your trash hauler.
Buying Recycled Products
If you're not also buying recycled products you're not really recycling. It isn't enough to have businesses or governments collect recyclables. The materials must have a market to have a value.
The State of Colorado implemented an Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy in 2010. Read the policy document for guidance on how to procure sustainable commodities and services. The EPA maintains an online, searchable database of recycled-content product suppliers.
