How can I start recycling in the workplace?
We go through so much waste where I work. We have trash bins full of paper and numerous bottles from the soda machine. I hate watching it all go to the dumpster. I want to recycle, but I have no idea where to start. Where can I find recycling bins? Would the city pick it up? And most importantly, how can I get my mechanic co-workers to help?

Separate the papers and plastic first, then recycle it !!!
about 1 year ago
First, start sorting your trash into different categories. Paper in one container, plastic in another, glass in another, etc. Whatever makes sense. Go with your gut.
Then take some bins from outside your neighbor’s house. If your company is large you may have to visit more than one house to find enough bins.
Transfer your recyclable trash into these new bins and leave them outside your neighbor’s house where you found them.
Now the city will come and pick it up.

contact your local dump-site, they should have separate bins for recycling and regular trash

I’m afraid that in most cases if you want to start recycling, you’ll have to either prove to your employer that it is more financially beneficial to start recycling, or you will just have to take it upon yourself to collect and drop off the waste.
If your employer is willing to work with you on this, some trash companies have bins for recycling that they will come and pick up. It may cost your employer more, though.
Bottom line is, if you want change, you usually have to take things into your own hands. Don’t expect others to help, because if they don’t care about it, they won’t help.
Good luck!

First of all segregate all kinds.
Ask any agencies who can take it on scrape value.
For recycling , you needs machinary.
R you going to install?
And scrubbing system too.
you have to follow the legal terms and conditions laid down by government.
It is better to find the recycling parties who can pay/you can get back it by giving money if it worthy of it.
