If you are looking for ways to get your employees to participate in the toner cartridge recycling program that you have at your company the following article may be of interest. Read through the following tips to increase employee participation in your office toner cartridge recycling program.
1. Make the receptacles for the used toner highly visible and publicize the program. Send your employees out a memo encouraging them to place their used toner cartridges in the conveniently located drop off zones designated throughout the office. Make sure that you clearly label the recycling bins and that you place them near copier machines so that employees will start instinctively taking out the spent cartridges and placing them in the recycling bin instead of the trash can.
2. Provide your employees with incentives for recycling their used cartridges. You can offer them some type of perk for diligently recycling all of their cartridges. Make sure that you inform your employees of all of the negative consequences of not recycling these cartridges. Let them know how long that they take to decompose in a landfill and how much space in which they take up. Many of your employees may not have any idea of the impact that not recycling these cartridges can have on the environment.
3. Encourage your employees to bring in their used cartridges from home. Offer special dress down passes and free lunches to any employee that goes the extra mile in bringing in the most cartridges for recycling. Your business will be doing the environment a big favor and your employees will get excited about recycling. Also, advertise your business as the local drop off for used cartridges. Not only will it drum up some extra business for you but it projects a positive image for your business within your community.
