Recycle@Work

Recycling services for small and medium businesses

Thanks to Recycle@Work an initiative of Amcor Recycling in Queensland, your Local council, and the National Packaging Covenant it's possible to make a real difference to the environment from your workplace.

Australian workplaces throw away millions and millions of tonnes of waste every year and only a small percentage of it is recovered for recycling. This has a huge economic, social, and environmental impact.

Recycle@Work offers a convenient recycling collection service for small to medium businesses in Queensland. We visit your workplace once a week to collect all of the recyclable material that you would usually throw into the bin.

The benefits

There's the "feel good" factor that comes from knowing you're doing the right thing by the environment, plus you will:

• Save money on other waste collection and disposal costs.
• Reduce your carbon footprint by cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions.
• Conserve natural resources including energy and water that are used to produce new materials.
• Prevent valuable land from being turned into landfill to store waste that could potentially leach harmful chemicals and gases into the environment.
• Support the local recycling industry - they provide jobs for the community.
• Set yourself apart from your competitors by promoting your proactive recycling policies to potential clients and employees.

What to recycle

Recycle all the same types of materials that you currently recycle at home - aluminium cans, newspapers and cardboard, steel tins, glass bottles, and plastic milk containers.

It's easy to make a difference

By making some simple changes at your business including implementing a workplace recycling program you can help create a culture that is both environmentally aware and responsible. It's great for staff morale, and best of all, it's simple to do!
