Don't file under 'B' for 'bin'. File under 'R' for recycling. Buy a bin especially for recycled paper for your office to make it easy-peasy to recycle your documents. Encourage kids' creativity by having them draw on the blank side of your paper. You could even frame them and hang them in your office. Your very own Recycled Tate Modern.
I used a big cardboard box to put my recycling in at my desk. Luckily, my office recycles. however, I get A LOT more stuff in the office bins because I recycle from the cdesk.
We make notepads from paper that has only been used one side. You reuse your paper before recycling and cut out the costs of purchasing exam pads. In a large office environment, a glue binder does the trick.
We've got recycling bins for different types of paper and card at work. I feel like a bit of a fraud by completing this goal though - I didn't put the bins there!
I do a lot of papercrafts, so I have a lots of scraps of paper. I bought a big blue bin so they could be easily gathered together and go out for recycling each week.
Having a big bin meant I am much likely to recycle, rather than leave it stacking up or throw it away in a mammoth cleaning session.
