Recycling Routine

How do small businesses set up a metal recycling routine?

Short answer: Identify the metals your business produces, give each a labelled bin near where it is created, assign someone responsibility for emptying and recording them, agree a collection or sale arrangement with a buyer and review the set-up every few months, because small businesses that make recycling part of the normal workflow get both better recovery and a tidier workplace.

Know what you produce

Label and place bins

One person responsible for emptying and recording keeps the system from drifting.
