National Recycling Week
Workplace Activities
National Recycling Week is a great opportunity get your workplace involved in new or existing recycling programs and other sustainability initiatives. Check out the pages below for activity ideas and resources.
Friday File Fling
Huge amounts of good quality office paper are ‘stored’ in files that will never be read again. So hold an office 'Fling' to clear out that paper and get in back in circulation.
Hold A Recycling Drive
One-off or periodic recycling events can be a good way to supplement the permanent, day-to-day recycling systems within your workplace, support a community initiative and have fun at the same time!
Collection Stations
Setting up collection stations for a range of recyclable items is an easy way to promote recycling in your workplace or to hold an environmental event.
Do A Review
A good place to start is to do a review of your workplace systems and to check out where you can divert waste into recycling.
Promote Your Existing Systems
Actively promoting existing systems is a great way to encourage staff to become involved.
Set Up New Recycling Systems
There are many materials that you can recycle in the workplace. Some will save you money, some will be cost neutral and some might come at a cost but all of them will help reduce your workplace’s impact on the environment.
Buy Recycled Office Products
Buying recycled products helps close the loop and increases the environmental benefits of recycling.
