1111 19th Street's Solid Waste Management Policy aims to reduce the amount of waste and toxins hauled to and disposed of in landfills. It addresses material reuse, recycling, and composting as well as waste measurement and proper disposal of toxic waste.
1111 19th Street's recycling program has a goal of recycling over 75% of total waste generated at 1111 19th Street, and occupant participation is key to this effort. Please contact the Property Management Office to obtain recycling containers for your space.
Here are some easy-to-initiate strategies that can help reduce landfill disposal of waste:
- Donate office furniture and equipment
- Refill toner and printer cartridges rather than replacing entire cartridges every time ink/toner runs out
- Ensure that each desk, printer, and kitchen has both recycling and trash receptacles
- Cancel unwanted subscriptions and register for e-newsletters
- Replace paper towel use by utilizing or installing hand dryers
Electronic Waste
