Choose a collection system for the recyclables. One of the keys to getting good participation is making recycling convenient for the employees. It must be as easy to recycle an item as it is to throw the item away. Another consideration is aesthetics. Management may have concerns about the appearance of the collection containers and about cluttering up the hallways or work areas.
Safety is a third factor to consider.
Containers must be located in areas where they will not block fire exists, hinder access to fire extinguishers, or disrupt traffic flow. Designing for Success Publicize the program. Make sure everyone in the office knows about the program and understands its goals. Educate everyone as to how the program will work. Hold meetings, make a video, do a skit, or whatever it takes to make sure people understand what they are to do.
