  2. Arrange for collection. Several collection options are available: contact CR&R Inc. (800-755-8112) for collection; designate an employee to deliver your recyclables to the nearest Hemet recycling center; or consider allowing your janitorial staff to keep the CRV in exchange for collecting the recyclables a win/win scenario.
  3. Get recycling bins. Contact CR&R Inc. about your new office program and the need for bins, or purchase bins for multiple locations in your office or transform some existing trash cans into recycling bins.  Now that's recycling.
  4. Identify CRV recyclable beverage containers. Educate employees on the various beverage containers in the CRV (California Redemption Value) program. From water bottles to iced tea, sports drinks and soda containers let your employees know what can be recycled.
  5. Location, location, location. Generate maximum participation by placing recycling bins at each break area, workstation, office, and cubicle.
  7. Kick-off the recycling program. Announce your new office-recycling program through an event or a series of internal emails leading up to the program kick-off.
