Recycling

Medical facilities and dental offices produce an abundance of trash on a daily basis. By simply recycling such things as paper, cardboard and plastic, office trash can be significantly reduced.

To get started:

• Select one person in the office to be in charge of recycling and waste management coordination.
• Check local recycling guides by contacting the city or local trash companies.
• If no onsite pick-up is available, find out where drop off locations are located.
• Provide labeled bins to separate and make recycling easy and effective. Generally, four bins can accommodate: corrugated cardboard, paperboard, comingled containers (plastic, glass, aluminum and tin), paper, including magazines and catalogs.
