With a busy commercial business often comes plenty of office rubbish. Managing the commercial waste that your office produces is an important aspect of being an environmentally responsible and eco-friendly business.
Recycling appropriately can help save your business money in the long run, save energy and lessen the impact your office has on the environment.

You can obtain bins for paper waste, plastic recyclables and printer cartridges/toners. By doing this, you’ll immediately be reducing your commercial waste.
Ultimately, this will keep these items out of landfill, and reduce your impact on the environment.
Rubbish removal is a crucial part of maintaining a sustainable company.
When you hire a Sydney rubbish removal company, you can rest easy knowing that we will take you recycling waste away and deal with it responsibly.
Recycle Your E-Waste
The amount of e-waste produced by businesses in Sydney and around the world has understandably skyrocketed in the past twenty years.
E-waste, much of it coming from the commercial sector, is now the fastest growing stream of waste in the world, with an estimated 48.5 million tons produced in 2018.
It’s more important now than ever to make sure your business is recycling this waste responsibly, through the services of a professional commercial rubbish removal contractor.
Through the recycling process, items such as computer monitors and computers are dismantled and the individual parts recycled, plastic and metals being removed and ultimately reused.
If the materials are recycled properly,95% of this e-waste is used again.
As a rubbish removal company that operates with sustainability, we ensure that e-waste recycling targets are always hit.
Nominate a Recycling Manager
Nominate someone in the office to manage and improve the recycling process.
This staff member can also take ownership of educating the other staff in your office on the recycling process. This ensures that everyone has the chance to understand the importance of recycling office waste, both for your business and the environment.
Something as simple as an email footer can be utilised as a small reminder to staff to be conscious of their recycling efforts.
Know Your Office Supplies
It’s important that you know what you’re purchasing when buying new office supplies.
For example, recycled paper, tables and chairs with recycled or recyclable components and eco-friendly stationary can be an enormous help in reducing the office rubbish that inevitably ends up in Sydney landfill.
There are a number of eco-friendly office supply companies who sell these products.
As well as the environmental benefits, cutting down on stationary will save your business on rubbish removal costs.
