subject: Trash Removal and Control in Office [print this page] Office accumulates a lot of trashOffice accumulates a lot of trash. Lots of papers, paper napkins, CD wrappers etc is the most of the trash generally found in office. And if there is a cafeteria in the office premises, then there will be extra trash accumulated.
Most of the trash found in offices is recyclable and can be reused again after recycling. And one must follow three R's i.e. Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse.
Some steps to be followed for making your office clean with less trash are mentioned below:
1.) Proof read your document several times before you print the document.
You must ensure that the document that has to be printed does not contain any mistakes (spelling, grammatical, etc), and the document should be up-to-date and correct. You can view the print layout of the document and verify it. Otherwise, both the ink and paper will be wasted.
2.) Prefer to make use of wipe-board for reminders, instead of scrap paper.
Wipe-boards can be used for reminders. They can be easily cleaned and new reminders, notes can be written onto it. But with scrap paper, each time a new note is written, the previous one is placed onto the trash bin. So having piles of scrap is mere wastage of paper.
3.) Print on both sides, if you have to forward the scanned document
Whenever some document has to be forwarded via email, you can print on both sides of the document, so that there is no wastage of paper. When you are having an option to save paper, you should go for it. Material used for your own knowledge, and understanding can also be printed onto both sides of the document.
4.) Make use of environment friendly cleaning products.
Make use of environment friendly products to save environment. Like, you can opt for paper bags instead of plastic bags. You can even make use of environment friendly room cleaners.
5.) Make use of washable lunchbox instead of plastic or paper bags.
Why to have plastic bags or paper bags for the lunch when you can have a washable lunch box. Washable lunch box can be washed and reused again and again. Plastic and paper bags can be used once. So, there is no fun of collecting trash.
6.) Place Trash Bins and Recycle Bins in and around office.
Inform everyone at your workplace about the reduction and recycling techniques. And also let them know what trash to place in what kind of bin. Recyclable waste should be placed in recyclable bin, and other in the trash bin. You can hire a professional trash removal company that offers trash removal services. For example trash removal ri, company offers best trash removal services.
