Top Tips for the Workplace

Learn some great reduce, reuse and recycling tips to put to good use in your workplace:

Write and print on both sides of a page.
Print only what you need to, condense the text and reduce the print quality, to save paper and ink.
Send e-mails and e-cards to reduce paper waste.
Instead of throwing your unwanted items away, consider ways in which they could be reused.
Consider donating old computing, or audio-visual, equipment to schools, and unwanted magazines to waiting rooms.
Collecting for charities within the workplace is also a good idea. Old mobile phones and unwanted computer equipment can help raise much needed charity funds.
Save money by bringing in your own lunch in a reusable lunchbox or if you use plastic sandwich bags they can also be cleaned and reused.
Reuse envelopes, parcel paper, gift bags, string, and elastic bands.
Reuse scrap paper. Keep a tray for used paper by the phone for notes, etc.
Window envelopes - can they be recycled with that plastic window? Yes they can. The plastic window will be removed at the recycling plant.
