Trash Talk

The 9-5 grind, the concrete jungle...the modern office workplace. 

With helicopter thinking, smile and dial, beautifully intelligent & all the other office lingo flying around, office recycling talk is going to be the last thing on people's lips.

However, just like a parent having the talk with their children....we need to talk office recycling.  

When it comes to implementing anything into your workplace, not just a successful workplace recycling program, it is very important that you focus on educating your employees on their recycling responsibility & how to complete the new task correctly. 

Let's be honest...some employees don't like change most of us don't like change, and not just in the workplace...so when looking to educate your employees, you have to ensure that it is firstly fun & secondly, clear enough that they take it all in.

Even though these symbols are all around us, how many of us actually understand and know what they mean?
