Recycling is everybody's business. Paper is the single most recyclable office product as 32 percent of what businesses send to the landfill is recoverable paper!  Because of this, MWA works with businesses to implement new recycling programs and also to re-evaluate existing ones. 

Having a recycling champion, providing consistent and easy-to-understand communication with employees, clearly marking collection containers, and obtaining the cooperation of custodial staff are all components of successful recycling programs, and Metro Waste Authority can help you develop all of these.

Recycling has some clear advantages: reduced garbage volumes and disposal costs, in some cases reduced operating costs, and an enhanced public image.  Metro Waste Authority can help you get started with a business recycling program or assess and kick-start an existing program.
