PIPE in Brisbane goes fully recycled...

The Team at PIPE Green have started phase 1 of it's planned recycling program at PIPE by introducing recycling bins on both levels 17 and 9 of it's offices in 127 Creek Street. Since the early days, PIPE has always had secure document destruction bins but every other bit of rubbish (other than cardboard boxes) has gone in general waste until now.



With the introduction of 240L general recycling bins (see above) AND white paper recycling bins (see below), PIPE now can recycle all recyclable waste rather than having it go into landfill. With some help from Veolia, we organised recycling bins for all general recyclables like glass bottles, plastics, newspapers and milk cartons and white paper bins for printer paper that doesn't need secure destruction. So far the recycling bins are being used quite well as most people recycle at home so doing it at work comes naturally.



With the exception of the odd mandarine peel or plastic shopping bag, the staff of PIPE are doing a really great job of reducing waste and recycling more.
