Suggestions for Businesses

Mansfield Litter Prevention & Recycling is able to assist you with technical assistance, product guide to purchasing recycled products, or any other "hands on" assistance. Copies are available for your use of the America Recycles Day logo, a limited supply of posters and more copies of the pledge form to win local and state prizes, and enter to win the Great American Green Dream House. We have also provided you a sample list of recycled-content products. Please feel free to contact our office for more infomation at 755-9699 or email us.

  • Hold an America Recycles Day pledge drive for employees. (Our office will provide you with pledge cards).

  • Set up displays for your employees and customers that show recycled products and/or highlight recycled products on store shelves using shelf talkers. You can also track sales of recycled products during your event.

  • Buy recycled content products for your office, from recycled copier and printer paper to toilet paper and paper towels.

  • Organize a contest to reward division/departments, which purchase the highest percentage of recycled-content products.

  • Include a utility bill stuffer in employee pay checks.

  • Buy-remanufactured office furniture, copiers and computers.

  • Purchase desk-side recycling bins made of recycled content for all of your employees.

  • Whenever possible, use recycled-content white paper for legal pads, phone message pads, and promotional materials instead of colored paper, which is not easily recyclable. Make sure to read the label.

  • Pledge to set aside a minimum percentage of procurement funds for the purchase of recycled products.

  • When printing brochures and promotional pieces, use recycled content paper to include the phrase "Printed on paper with X% post consumer content and X% total recycled content." This educates individuals on the quality and availability of recycled content. Do the same with your company letterhead.

  • Include a pledge card entry form or print ad in newsletter.
