Recycle at Work Businesses recycle, too. In some states, it's the law. Plus, companies can often get paid for their recyclables-instead of paying to have them hauled away as trash.
Many businesses also recycle corrugated boxes and packaging.
Use the backs of old memos, envelopes, etc. as scrap paper. Reuse file folders and interoffice envelopes. Use a washable mug for coffee or tea instead of a Styrofoam or paper cup. If your company is not into recycling, see about setting up a recycling committee to get started.
