Employee Action
Conscientious employees at C&S drive our waste reduction and recycling initiatives in areas that include office paper, cardboard, wood pallets, plastic wrap, and electronics.
In calendar year 2010, nearly 269,000 pounds of office paper were recycled from the C&S facilities in New England alone. This is the equivalent of saving 2,280 mature trees or nearly 1 million gallons of water. During a recent 12-month period, we responsibly recycled more than 14,474 tons of cardboard, 3,757 tons of plastic shrink wrap, 2,277 tons of metal, 86 tons of electronics, and over 79,590 tons of wooden pallets.
Computers and other electronics deemed by C&S to be outdated are either scrubbed and donated to local nonprofit organizations, or, are recycled following EPA guidelines. In a recent twelve month period, we recycled 6,377 pounds of retired, non-functional or outdated electronics with the help of one of the world's leading information technology asset disposition companies; they adhere to a zero-landfill policy.
