03. Setting up a Recycling Scheme
Consider hosting a recycling day or event to launch the new recycling scheme. For example, hold a desk recycling amnesty to encourage staff to recycle as much as they can from their desks.
TOP TIPS
- Promote your recycling scheme around the workplace. A range of posters to help you do this are available to download free of charge at www.recyclenowpartners.org.uk.
