subject: Office Product Recycling Help [print this page] There comes a point in all offices when you need to get rid of the old and bring in the new. But what to do with the old? There are a few schemes that allow you to rid your office of your unwanted things in the best possible way. No more filling landfills or meaningless destruction, let your items go to a new home where someone will truly appreciate them.
Pens
Once you've fitted out your office with your own branded or colour co-ordinated stationary, the last thing you want is for the scene to be ruined with other companies branded pens. Everyone seems to send pens nowadays, from advertising companies wanting your business to pharmaceuticals selling drugs and everything in between. Whilst these companies mean well, these items often get stashed in a draw and are very rarely used. If this is the case in your office, why not send them to people who really need them. A scheme has been set up to send pens to children in third world countries across the world where a shortage of stationary supplies has a massive impact on childrens' education.
Furniture
If your office furniture is looking a bit tired, you may want to think about updating. Comfy new sets and sturdy cabinets will surely make your workers much happier. Once you've decided what you need to get rid of, contact the relevant charity and they will come round, collect your unwanted items and either send them to specialist recycling plants or sell them on to community centres. So whilst you're reclining in your new plush executive chair, you can rest assured that its predecessor is on its way to a well deserving home.
Electricals
In order to be as efficient as possible, it stands to reason that you should have the best computing equipment available. After the upgrade is complete, you need to start thinking about disposing of the redundant products. Electricals can be tricky to get rid of, so to make it easier for you and to help the planet and the people in it along the way, there are various programmes set up to collect your unwanted electricals. A quick Google search will bring up a lot of results and their policies are usually to never reuse electricals, only recycle. This policy gives you confidence that any confidential company information will never slip into the wrong hands.
