What You Can Do (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)

There are a few simple things you can do around the home and in the office that will not only help to reduce our environmental footprint, but also save you money as well.

In the Home

  • Avoid packaged food
  • Carry your own reusable shopping bags
  • Buy quality goods that last
  • Compost your organic waste.
  • Recycle all paper and cardboard.
  • Buy only recyclable plastics.
  • Dispose of chemicals safely: call the Clean-Out Info Hotline on 1300 787 870.

In the Office

  • Use recycled content stationery products rather than virgin stationery products.
  • Use both sides of the paper whenever possible and turn scrap paper into notebooks.
  • Conduct regular waste audits in the office to help improve the management of waste.
  • Ask your supplier about different types of recycled content products available
  • Avoid printing everything out whenever possible, use e-mails or online publishing tools.
  • Place recycling bins under each desk, and other possible locations where paper will be used, such as near the photocopiers and printers.
  • Educate both the staff and the cleaners about the importance of recycling at the workplace and ensure valuable materials are not accidentally discarded.

Sometimes items you no longer need can be re-used, rather than being sent to landfill. There are a number of organisations who may take your unwanted items, if they are in good condition, and put them to use. For more information click here.
