Every year according to the EPA, the average office worker in the US uses 10,000 sheets of paper during the course of work. That adds up to 4 million tons of copy paper each and every year. That’s a lot of trees. And a lot of waste. In our electronic era, we don’t need to use that much paper. Not only that, but a lot of paper which gets thrown away can be recycled. So can other materials, like plastic bottles and tin cans. Interested in starting a recycling program in your office? Here are the steps to make it work.

1. Make sure management is on board.

If you are management, then that isn’t a problem. If you aren’t, though, make sure you run it by the managerial team before you try to implement it, not only to reduce disorder, but also to get their support. They can help you to boost compliance. You should probably appoint yourself as the recycling coordinator since it is your effort.
