Bundle Waste
Build the recycling programme around the materials your collector actually accepts and the places staff dispose of them. A small, clear system with a responsible owner is easier to assess than adding bins without a collection plan.
Information to gather
- Audit real packaging and waste at the busiest disposal points.
- Place labelled recycling and residual bins together where space permits.
- Assign an owner to check mistakes and update signs when acceptance changes.
What to check before deciding
Run a trial in one work area, record contamination and fix confusing items before expanding. Keep batteries and hazardous items out of a generic recycling or general-waste fallback.
Workplace waste reduction can be supported through a waste management plan and staff participation. See Business Victoria - How to minimise waste in your business.
