Recycling Feasibility Study
Date: February 25, 2012
To: Alicia Pena, Chief Financial Officer
From: Carolyn Haynes
Subject: Recycling Feasibility Report for the Greening Corporation
Starting a Companywide Recycling Program
This is a feasibility report specifically complied for The Greening Corporation. John James, President of the Greening Corporation wants to start a recycling program. This report will assist, Alicia Pena, their Chief Financial Officer by providing research and recommendations for starting a recycling program. Our team has done research on several waste management companies, interviewed an expert and studied how other companies started their recycling programs. We had an opportunity to tour a recycling facility and the tour proved to be very beneficial to our research.
The report includes three categories of waste products that are recyclable, what items could or could not be included in these categories, and an option for actually getting rid of the recycled items. We decided that it was important that the company executives of Greening Corporation have feedback from a subject matter expert in the recycling field. Therefore, information from an interview that was conducted with the President and owner of Mercer County Improvement Facility has been included in the feasibility report.
Elements to Be Considered When Starting a Recycling Program
Our team will be addressing waste products that would be found in the general office, in shipping and receiving, in the computer room, in the office kitchen or in the cafeteria. I am not presenting every waste product that is found in a business, but rather examples of the type of items that would be considered as recyclable waste products.
RECYCLABLE ITEMS
• Paper: Printer paper, cardboard products, phone books, catalogs, manila folders, envelopes, magazines, paper packing materials, paper bags, cereal boxes, egg cartons and junk mail.
• Aluminum: Beverage cans, trays, pans
