A great way to determine what is needed for a recycling program is by seeking the input and approval of those in the space. Applying the advice of tenants and maintenance staff can encourage future program use. It can also ensure that an appropriate recycling program is selected by those who will be using it.

Determine how much and what type of waste is generated in the office. Apply it to the specifications provided by the hauler and the anticipated level of traffic for the area. Together this information will provide what is needed for the recycling program to run. For example, an office environment may require desk side recycling bins or large capacity centralized collection containers. The type of recycling bin which will work best will depend on how often it will be emptied, the amount of employees contributing to it, possible janitorial services and the size of the area.

Before introducing a program determine what type of recycling is possible for the area. This can be accomplished by contacting the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Establish where the local community is situated in relation to the ‘Green Municipal Fund’. This fund is an initiative implemented by the Canadian government for sustainable development in government operations. The federation should be able to provide program and waste hauler information for the area. Evaluate their customer satisfaction and collection costs.
