Metric
Have deskside recycling bins with a smaller waste bin or no waste bin at desks

Benefit:
• A simple change in the size of recycling and trash containers could vastly improve the amount of waste that is correctly recycled in offices.
• A Keep America Beautiful study found the most effective way of reducing waste at employees’ desks is to provide a recycling can paired with a smaller trash can. Small, hanging trash bins are available through Hamilton County R3Source’s Let's Stop Waste at Work program
