Office Checklist

Check your office for compliance with the A.S. Sustainability Policy! Look for ALL of the following, and contact us if anything isn’t what it should be:

    • A sticker on the light switch reminding occupants to turn off the lights
    • A recycling bin next to every landfill/trash bin
    • An accessible compost bin (may not be in every office, but should be at least one per floor/building)
    • An accessible electronic waste bin
    • Signs for all compost, recycling, electronic waste and landfill bins saying what goes in each
    • Enough reusable cups, plates, and utensils that daily occupants do not need to use disposables
    • Enough compostable cups, plates, and utensils for office guests as needed
    • A spray bottle of Green Seal certified all-purpose cleaner (free from the Environmental Programs Advisor!)
    • A labeled place for scrap paper
    • If your office uses batteries for anything, a battery charger
    • If your office is a large space, LED task lighting so use of overhead lights is minimized

    Make sure your office does NOT use any of the following:

    • Single-serving coffee makers (Keurig, etc)
    • Plastic or styrofoam plates, cups, or utensils
    • Single-use water bottles
    • Space heaters

If you have any questions or need help bringing your office up to date, please don’t hesitate to contact us!
