Recycling at work is as important as recycling at home. There are many ways businesses can reduce waste and promote recycling, while receiving financial benefits. Call Environmental Services General Department Information for free assistance in developing a recycling program in your office.

Another way businesses and institutions can reduce waste is through California Materials Exchange (CALMAX). CALMAX is a state-wide materials exchange program that matches the discards of businesses with potential users.
