Memo to department managers: As you know, recycling is a very important goal for our company. Our efforts to make the planet clean and green extend beyond our corporate walls. We encourage every employee to recycle at home as well as work. The original blue recycling containers that were placed in each break room and reception area several years ago will be replaced with larger green containers that have separate receptacles for paper, plastic, glass, and metals. Please remind the employees in your department to recycle as much as possible.
