Staples are OK, but do not include rubber bands, paper clips, facial tissue, food packaging, carbon paper, wraps from paper reams which contain a thin coat of plastic to deter moisture, or any item which is not paper.
Getting Started with Paper Recycling
Give each work station a collection basket or box. Place larger containers near copiers, printers, and fax machines. Use a staff meeting and posters to show everyone how to participate. Offset any cost by ordering a smaller, less expensive trash dumpster or less frequent trash pickup.
