can look into forming partnerships and sharing a recycling container with others
nearby.

What is my role as a business to recycle?
As a business, it is up to you to recycle as much as you can in a way that is cost
efficient to you. It is important for businesses to create an environment that
encourages their workers to become enthusiastic about recycling. Setting
standards for employee recycling, and creating easily accessible recycling
areas on your premises, greatly improves the chances of success for your
recycling program.
A business should look at a recycling provider as a partner and understand the
limitations of the recycling service. However, by working together to create
a recycling plan appropriate for you needs, the business and service provider
can come to an arrangement that is both easily managed and cost-efficient.
