Office recycling grows in popularity
An Episode of the popu
l a r television series
Murphy Brown in
which the characters accept
ed a challenge that they could
be environmentally sound
showed that recycling isn't
lust for the home —it's a prac
tice you can take to the office
And it's qood for business
yielding significant waste dis
posal savings An office re
cycling program can contnb
ute significantly to the United
States Environmental Protec
tion Agency s goal of reduc
mg waste by 25 percent
through source reduction and
recycling this year
Elizabeth Seiler, director of
research and planning tor
Keep America Beautiful Inc
in Stamford. Conn offers the
following tips for starting an
office recycling program
'Get support of top man
agement When the boss is
enthused, program participa
tion is greater throughout the
company
‘Determine the quality and
quantity of your waste Start
with paper which constitutes
90 percent of office throw
away. The most valuable is
high-grade white, which in
eludes typing and photocopy
mg paper computer paper
and letterhead You may also
want to collect colored ledg
its such as yellow legal pads
and telephone message pa
per
Selection depends on local
markets and the specifica
tions in your sales contract A
rule of thumb is that each em
ployee generates a half pound
per day
‘Find a market for your
waste Look in the phont
book under recycling
scrap and wastepaper
dealers
Contracts should say
which grades ol paper are ac
cepted. how the paper should
be separated, it paper will be
picked up or delivered, who
will provide the storage con
tamers and prices and rneth
ods of payment
‘Name a coordinator and
communicate with employees
often Announce the recycling
plan to employees several
weeks ahead to gain support
To sustain enthusiasm and
participations send frequent
updates telling how many
tons have been collected, how
many trees have been spared
and how much money has
been saved
Donating a portion of the
proceeds to a local charity
will provide an additional in
centive
"Set up an efficient collec
tion system. Include desktop
boxes or folders, a second
trash can in a central location
and special bins next to high
traffic areas such as copiers
and computer printers
And clearly identify the
bins to prevent contamination
by non office paper trash and
unacceptable items such as
window envelopes and
gummed labels Then arrange
for lanitorial or other person
nel to store the wastepaper
for pickup
'Close the loop Buy recy
cled office paper products
and, when possible, limit pur
chases to products that can
be recycled
