Any good ideas to let our employees know about our companies recycling program?

Question

I work in a manufacturing environment. We have in house recycling and the employees can bring in outside trash as well. Does anyone have any good ideas that would help put our recycling program into the fore front? Anything to make it more visible and more exciting for the employees?

Answer 1

We had contests. The winner of a contest (e.g., a safety or environmental quiz) got to choose where to donate the proceeds of the recyclables. This worked well for things like aluminum cans and newspapers.

Answer 2

inter-departmental competitions are always good for a laugh.

points mean prizes!

oh sugar, you are me and i claim my 5 pounds! :-)

Answer 3

Well, I don't know how big your company is, but maybe split them into teams, or they can do it individually, but whoever brings in the most wins some sort of prize..baseball or football or basketball tickets..or maybe money. Something of that sort would be totally fun!
