Office Recycling
Programs That Employees Actually Use
Office recycling manages the waste streams from corporate offices, coworking spaces, and professional buildings — including paper, cardboard, electronics, furniture, and confidential document destruction.
Office Recycling That People Actually Use
Office recycling has a participation problem. Most offices have recycling bins — but contamination rates above 25% are common because employees aren't sure what goes where. The result: recyclable material gets landfilled because the load is too contaminated for processing.
Effective office recycling requires the right streams (paper, bottles, electronics), the right containers (desk-side, centralized, and kitchen), clear signage, proper pickup frequency, and periodic reinforcement. Recycling Quotes builds programs that actually work — not just programs that exist on paper.
Why Corporate Offices Chooses Us
What Offices Generate
Typical waste streams we manage for corporate offices operations.
Bins Aren't a Program
Recycling bins in the kitchen is step one. Without proper streams, signage, and pickup cadence, contamination rates kill the program.
Contamination Kills Office Recycling
Food in the recycling bin, plastic bags mixed with paper — one contaminated load negates a week of good recycling. Proper streams and signage fix this.
