Office Recycling

Blue Bin


I'm part of a group pushing "Green Issues" up the agenda where I work. We have had some success, but there's still a lot to do. I've created a new Collection on the London Permaculture Flickr site for issues to do with "waste?". One of the included Sets features photos and explanations of the recycling facilities in the offices of Amnesty International in Central London.

The already established provision of paper recycling has recently been bolstered with staff generated schemes for recycling cds/dvds and used batteries.
The group has also successfully encouraged the organisation to take advantage of Islington Council's free recycling service for charities - adding glass, plastic bottles, tins & cans and cardboard to the materials recycled.

Next stop - office composting, dealing with tetrapaks, etc etc....
