Recycling Simplified: Simple as 1-2-3

We know recycling is good. It preserves the earth’s resources and keeps recyclable items from filling up the landfill or polluting our neighborhoods and waterways. Finding a recycling container seems to be getting easier and easier. But knowing what is actually acceptable to put in and what should stay out isn’t always clear. Recent news highlights the importance of keeping the recycling stream flowing clear of contaminates.

After participating in this short webinar, you will understand what goes into the recycling container and how to make sure your material is recycle ready.

Out-of-the-Box Office Recycling Programs

In the average workplace, much of the solid waste disposed of is recyclable (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). An efficient recycling program in your office building can improve employee satisfaction and community goodwill while reducing costs WITHOUT disrupting normal operations.

Los Angeles requires that all businesses provide recycling collection on site.

This free 30-minute webinar will help you optimize your office recycling program and highlight successful case studies.

Dishing Up an Organics Collection Program

Food service establishments generate a significant amount of wasted food and packaging. Between 4 and 10 percent of food purchased by food service operations in the U.S. is thrown out before even reaching the plate. And patrons eat only 85% of the food that is served. This leads to high levels of food and packaging reaching the landfills each day.

By reducing the amount of food and packaging discarded, foodservice providers can significantly reduce their waste stream, save money, and garner goodwill from sustainable-minded patrons.
