Staff training ideas

Ask for ideas on how a scheme may work, as they may have spotted opportunities or issues which you have not considered; 

Identify a recycling champion to encourage everyone to do the right thing.  Management still has ultimate responsibility to ensure all members of staff understand what is expected of them. 

Provide clear instructions on what they should do with different waste streams or recyclables to help you meet your new recycling obligations;  

Provide training to permanent, seasonal and temporary workers. Use orientation training to ensure new starters can recycle from day one, with regular training and reminders for all employees; 

Share information about recycling via regular updates at team meetings and on staff noticeboards so that employees hear about the differences their actions are making and  

Ask for feedback if recycling systems are not working well, ensure employees feel listened to and that issues are identified promptly before they cause bigger problems.
