National Recycling Week
Host a Friday File Fling
Only around 1 in every 10 sheets of office paper gets recycled. Much of it ends up 'stored' in files that will never be read again. By hosting a Friday File Fling, you can declutter your office and get good, reusable office paper back into circulation.
Friday File Flings are a great team engagement activity to hold anytime throughout the year. All you need to do is set some time aside and encourage your team, office, or organisation to clear out their files and get good quality office paper back in to circulation. Fridays are great, as it's easier to get staff involved and to combine the fling with afternoon tea or drinks.
By participating in the 2010 Friday File Fling, Colonial First State, collected 124 wheelie bins of paper for recycling. This represents saving more than 22,000 litres of water and 2,728 kilos of carbon dioxide over making paper from raw materials. Learn how to Host a Fling from by watching the Video Guide.
