Reuse or recycle in the office

Making small changes can make a big difference in the amount of solid waste you generate.

In the office:

• Print and copy only what you need
• Make double-sided copies
• Post or route internal memos
• Use e-mail or voice mail
• Use scrap paper for internal memos
• Proof documents on screen
• Replace cover sheets with fax-it notes
• Reuse file folders: fold them in reverse or put on new adhesive labels
• Reuse envelopes, boxes, and packaging materials
• Shred old newspapers and reuse for packaging
• Route and share newspapers and magazines

Don’t throw it away; reuse or recycle it.
