'People don't think recycling at work is part of their job description'

I AM NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE APPARENTLY PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY UPSET ABOUT RECYCLING AT WORK WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE BBC EXPERTS ARE SAYING WE ARE WAY WORSE AT RECYCLING IN THE OFFICE THAN AT HOME! ONLY 61% OF PEOPLE IN WALES ARE ACTUALLY DOING IT AT WORK AND ONE IN FIVE PEOPLE SAY THEY CANNOT EVEN FIND A BIN WHICH IS JUST BONKERS! THE CHARITY WRAP SAYS WE NEED BETTER LABELLING BUT THIS RECRUITMENT FIRM ACORN BY SYNERGIE JUST TOOK AWAY EVERYONE'S DESK BINS AND IT WORKED! THEY WENT FROM SIX WHEELIE BINS OF TRASH A WEEK DOWN TO ONE AFTER THEY STARTED RECYCLING FOOD WASTE THANKS TO THAT 2024 LAW SO NOW NOBODY HAS A PERSONAL TRASH CAN ANYMORE AND PEOPLE HATED IT AT FIRST. OK BUT ARE YOU SEEING WHAT I AM SEEING?

SO BASICALLY THE WHOLE SITUATION IS THAT WE ARE TERRIBLE AT SORTING OUR TRASH WHEN WE ARE ON THE CLOCK AND AN EXPERT SAYS THERE IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT! FIGURES SHOW THAT 61 PERCENT OF WORKERS IN WALES RECYCLE REGULARLY AT THE OFFICE WHICH MEANS A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOT! THE PROBLEM IS CONFUSING LABELS AND A LACK OF BINS BUT SOME PLACES ARE FIGHTING BACK BY STEALING EVERYONE'S DESK BINS! ACORN BY SYNERGIE IN NEWPORT ACTUALLY DID THIS AND THEY ARE PRODUCING MASSIVELY LESS RUBBISH NOW BECAUSE THEY HAD TO ADAPT TO THE WELSH WORKPLACE RECYCLING LAW FROM 2024! APPARENTLY REMOVING INDIVIDUAL BINS WAS A HUGE FIGHT BUT NOW THEY ONLY HAVE ONE WHEELIE BIN A WEEK INSTEAD OF SIX WHICH IS ACTUALLY PRETTY IMPRESSIVE TO BE HONEST. ANYWAY THAT IS THE SHORT VERSION, ASK ME LATER.

According to new figures, only 61% of people in Wales recycle at work, leading experts to suggest better bins and labeling to improve compliance after the introduction of workplace recycling laws.
