Today is America Recycles Day
Implement a recycling strategy with recycling receptacles!
Celebrate America Recycles Day by implementing a recycling program at your facility. In addition to saving the planet, here are some great benefits to recycling:
Benefits of Starting a Recycling Program
- Save money. There’s great potential to save money on monthly waste fees if you implement a recycling program. This amount varies depending on the size of your facility and your particular recycling program.
- Impress your community. Having a recycling program will impress your community and can have great marketing potential.
- Helps get LEED certification. Having a recycling program can help you earn LEED certification.
How to Implement a Recycling Program
1. Educate and encourage staff.
Notify key personnel and make sure everyone is on board with this new program. Note when it’s going to start, explain the benefits, and make sure the cleaning staff is aware of new procedures.
2. Strategically place recycling receptacles in key areas.
Make it easy for guests to start recycling. Kick off your program by placing recycling receptacles beside any trash cans at your facility. Choose receptacles that are clearly marked with a recycle logo or lettering.
3. Monitor usage.
Keep an eye on usage to make sure guests are using the new recycling receptacles. You may need to add or move some to more high-traffic areas, or maybe add some visible signage that explains what can or can’t be recycled.
