Why a Deskside Recycler Matters
Integrating a deskside recycling bin into your office encourages consistent recycling behavior. Rather than walking to a central bin, employees can discard recyclables immediately, reducing contamination and boosting overall diversion rates.
Behavioral Impact
Visible, conveniently placed bins serve as constant reminders, leading to a 30–50% increase in paper and beverage container recycling in pilot programs conducted by Recycling Guidelines.
Cost Savings
By separating recyclables at the source, you reduce mixed waste volumes, saving on trash hauling fees and potential landfill surcharges.
