In cooperation with facilities personnel, management and employees, design the recycling program. As part of this step, the coordinator should target specific paper grades for recycling, identify the types of containers needed and identify the program's personnel requirements. Custodial personnel transport paper from recycling containers to recycling dumpsters at the building's loading dock or waste area. A designated hauler empties the recycling dumpsters and hauls the paper to a recycling facility. There are many variation within this basic approach.
Some offices have employees transfer paper from desktop to centralized containers.
Other offices have custodial personnel empty desktop containers as well as centralized containers. Since most office waste is paper, some offices further encourage recycling by limiting trash containers. This provides a continual prompt for employees to recycle. Individual employees should separate their own paper from waste, rather than relying on custodial staff. Consider compacting or baling paper on-site.
