Top Tips
Follow these tips to increase the impact of your Recycling Appeal:
1) Begin with your employees or volunteers
This audience knows your organisation and is invested in your success. Why not get them excited about your Recycling Appeal? They’ll make great ambassadors! Ask them to begin by bringing in old mobiles and used printer cartridges from home, then challenge them to involve others! Think about sending an email explaining the programme, drop some details into a newsletter or tell them about the Recycling Appeal at an organisation-wide meeting.
2) Engage your suppliers and partners
Let the people who work with you or gain business from you play a part in your Recycling Appeal’s success. Let them know about your campaign by sending them an email or have letters available for them to take back to their business – you never know who your greatest recycling supporters may turn out to be.
3) Offer opportunity to businesses
As businesses become more engaged in developing their ‘green credentials’ or demonstrating their environmental business practices, they can make great collectors for your Recycling Appeal. By offering businesses an opportunity to join your appeal, you provide a way for them to act environmentally and support your cause, by simply giving you products they would otherwise throw in the bin. It’s a win-win relationship!
If you have a database of strong corporate supporters, the Recycling Appeal can give them a quick call on your behalf to explain the logistics - call 1800 933 616 to discuss this further. Businesses that join your Recycling Appeal are no headache to you – we will manage the logistics relationship, communicating directly with them to arrange free collection of their items when required.
4) Expand to the community
The question of what to do with old mobile phones and used printer cartridges is common to everyone. Expand your Recycling Appeal and offer a service to the community – posters in community centres or popular shops can help build public support for your campaign.
