How can I start recycling in the workplace?
April 1st, 2010
We go through so much waste where I work. We have trash bins full of paper and numerous bottles from the soda machine. I hate watching it all go to the dumpster. I want to recycle, but I have no idea where to start. Where can I find recycling bins? Would the city pick it up? And most importantly, how can I get my mechanic co-workers to help?

I’m afraid that in most cases if you want to start recycling, you’ll have to either prove to your employer that it is more financially beneficial to start recycling, or you will just have to take it upon yourself to collect and drop off the waste.
If your employer is willing to work with you on this, some trash companies have bins for recycling that they will come and pick up. It may cost your employer more, though.
Bottom line is, if you want change, you usually have to take things into your own hands. Don’t expect others to help, because if they don’t care about it, they won’t help.
Good luck!
