How does this program work?
1. Each Division has an Office Recycling Representative. The reprentative is your recycling contact for questions, problems, or containers.
2. Recycling will be co-mingled, which means everything is together. Line your deskside container with a trash bag, this helps keep your container clean. It is prefered if you rinse aluminum cans, steel cans, and plastic bottles, but not manditory.
3. The custodial staff will monitor your bins, emptying them as necessary. The contents of your bin will be placed into a centrally located rolling cart.
4. Office Recycling will be collected by Escambia County Recycling Operations. |
