At Work

We encourage everyone to become an "environmental citizen" by participating in our recycling program. The program's goal is to reduce business waste and its associated costs.

How Does the Program Work?

FIRST. . . It Starts at Your Desk Separate recyclable materials from your trash and place them in your deskside bin. The deskside bins are the only bins that your company will be asked to provide, and they can be as simple as ordinary cardboard boxes. All other containers and bags will be provided. NEXT. . . Take the deskside bins to the central collection sites and separate their contents into the appropriate purple cart or blue bins.

What Goes in the Recycling Bins?

< < < In the DUMPSTER Clean Corrugated Cardboard (remove all plastic and styrofoam packaging or any white or other office paper, flatten, and place in dumpster)

What Doesn't Belong in the Bins?

PLEASE RECYCLE RIGHT! Any material other than those described above will contaminate the entire load.

Please DO NOT put the following items in the recycling bins:

Feel Good About Yourself

You have now become an official "environmental citizen." You are helping to keep Fort Lauderdale green while your business saves money and reduces waste.

"Creative Waste"

Anything that can be reused should be considered "creative waste." Items such as three-ring binders, file racks and trays, binder clips, foam board, packaging peanuts, and office furniture can often be used again. Your trash could be someone else's treasure. Call for more information.
