SECRETS TO SUCCESS FROM SOME OF OUR
TOP PRODUCERS
Actively promoting the program in the surrounding community proves that working together is the way to building a greener future. Working together to maximize the benefits that recycling provides helps keep our communities clean, improves our quality of life, and raises dollars to fund projects. |
With the growth in the number of charitable organizations the funding available to each of us gets sliced thinner. We are always on the look out for new funding sources as well as increasing public awareness of our mission. The Paper Retriever program offers a solution to both.

How to set-up a successful program
Teamwork and communication are key to a successful program. Teams dedicated to recycling are an effective way to "get the ball rolling", to help launch a recycling program and to promote recycling activities in the school. As the recycling coordinator, you cannot accomplish this alone! You need support from many different people in your organization.
Develop a team that is made up of an administrator, volunteers, and other staff to support your recycling efforts. This diverse group will allow you identify various key issues in the organization and assist in problem solving in order to ensure your program's success.
Once you've identified key players, it's time to develop an action plan. In order to make all users aware of your commitment to waste reduction and environmental issues create a mission statement for your efforts and post it in a prominent place.
Set realistic goals and re-assess your progress often!!
Some of the ways organizations can increase the amount of paper in their bins are:
|
|
- Place the bins in a very visible area outside where everyone will see them. Also make sure there is a bin in every room and in every room and in every office.
- Advertise through your newsletter or bulletin, your website, or on other signage you might have.
- Place a shopping cart in the parking area, so that it is easier for members to drop off paper.
- Make one day every month "Recycling Day." Tell community members to bring their paper to the bin, drive up, and volunteers will empty out their car for them.
- Challenge all volunteers to a certain tonnage amount for that month.
- The most important way you can make your program more successful is by encouraging community members to bring their paper and by communicating how their efforts are helping you to raise money for important projects.
