Desktop Recyclers help change habits & save money

Successful office recycling schemes generally exist where it has been possible to change the individual employee’s approach to waste disposal. Most of us have been used to throwing our waste in a deskside bin and it is here that the change needs to be made.

Replacing the traditional waste bin with a desktop caddie provides staff with a simple container that the employee can use to hold waste paper and the occasional can or plastic bottle, before finally disposing of the material in the appropriate centralised office recycling bins.

LEAFIELD Environmental (Formally known as Linpac Environmental) produces a compact, personal, Desktop Recycler for this very purpose. Manufactured from 100% recycled plastic, the Desktop Recycler is rigid, durable, waterproof and washable.

Although some may find removing waste bins a big step to take, case studies have shown that employees quickly adapt to the new approach particularly where centralised office recycling bins have clear graphics and signage and where the results of a recycling initiative have been well communicated. By using Desktop Recyclers larger organisations have also be able to negotiate lower cleaning charges as the overall number of bins to empty is greatly reduced.
