Houston, TX – Fun Ways to Encourage Employee Participation in Office Recycling

BY: Eric Coan, Mission Recycle

Office recycling programs can have a lot of perks for companies, but for employees, they can sometimes seem tedious or overwhelming.  Employee involvement is a key component in making office recycling programs successful.  Consider these creative methods to encourage recycling within the office.

Make It a Game

Sorting recycling is never a fun job.  Office recycling companies provide separate bins for different types of recycling.  When the time comes for recycling pick up, recycling should be correctly sorted to make picking easier and more efficient.  Employee cooperation can make this an easier, quicker task.  Create a free throw game with the recycling bins or put fun backboards on the bins to make it feel like a basketball goals.  This fun and simple game can make recycling fun, encouraging more employee participation.

Encourage Competition

Nothing motivates employees more than a little healthy competition.  Create department teams and offer prizes for whichever department produces the most recycling.  Prizes don’t have to be extravagant and can easily encourage employees to participate in an office recycling program.

Set a Goal

Goal setting is something often done in the workplace.  Set a recycling goal and fill in a goal chart to help employees see the progress that is being made.  Sometimes seeing how many products are being recycled instead of thrown in the trash can help raise awareness for the good that recycling does.  With relatable goals, employees are more likely to jump on board.

Remember, whatever you do, keep it attainable and simple.  For more information about office recycling programs, contact Mission Recycle.  We can help you set up an office recycling plan that meets your office needs so you can do your part and reap the benefits as well.
