recycling in the work place

Today I stopped by my husband's office, where he was working/babysitting/being a dad. I love the idea that dad's think they "babysit" their own children. This is a really funny FUNNY thing to me....and it was even funnier when my daughter told me a few weeks ago that she did not want daddy to "babysit" her anymore because he was mean. My point? First of all, dad's do NOT babysit-they are dads-to their children. My other point-my husband has no recycling set up in his office. My other other point? I don't have one but I wonder how many work places actually have recycling set up and if so, how they take care of this sort of thing? I was a little freaked out walking around with my empty guava juice can and no where to put it-besides the trash can. I admit-it did end up in the trash after trying to figure out where I could put it as I was loading up three kids, holding the baby, the diaper bag, the sunglasses, the car keys, the doors, the kids pictures that daddy threw away "on accident" and they dug back out of the trash in a fit of rage (which by the way could have been the recycling bin had there been one in place). Do you see what I am getting at? I feel terrible for throwing away my can. There HAS to be a better recycling solution for the office...and many other offices. This had me thinking all the way home-even after I almost got hit by another driver who was NOT thinking about the car (me) he was about to hit when deciding to merge into their (MY) lane...I was just driving, minding my own business and pondering recycling.....and now following a car with its left hand turn signal on...who seconds before just tried to hit me...

When I got home, I sat down in the kitchen and immediately asked my husband-"Did you see that I almost got hit on the freeway?" and then "How can we get recycling into your office?" I was so surprised when he came back with an immediate answer "We can probably call someone to come out once a month-a shredding/recycling service maybe?"

Now I will have to put that on HIS agenda (and mine)....helping him find some sort of business recycling service to come and take care of his office recycling needs....I wonder if the city has some sort of recycling program that comes by businesses?

....to be continued....
