20 September 2013 is National Recycling Day. It forms part of the Clean Up SA Week which is from 16 September to 21 September 2013. Here are some tips of how to make recycling work for your office. Assess your office or work environment and determine what type of recyclable waste you produce the most of. Take note of which materials will be the easiest for your staff to recycle or collect. Make sure that everyone at the office knows how your recycling project is going to work. Identify a collector of recyclables who will collect or buy from your office, or a charity organization that would benefit from the recyclables. Ensure that your office has a well-managed storage facility for the recyclables that is easily visible. Separate your waste – keep wet (waste) and dry (recyclables) apart.
