Paper Recycling
When organic materials like paper are disposed in landfills they decompose into biogas, containing methane, a greenhouse gas linked to global warming. Recycled paper fiber can be used towards paper manufacturing, reducing the need for virgin material.
FACTS:
Making 1,000 kg of paper from recycled material conserves about 7,000 gallons of water, 17 to 31 trees and 4,000 kwh of electricity.
Milling paper from recycled paper uses 20% less energy than to make paper from trees, with less pollution from transportation and chemical treatment.
RECYCLE YOUR PAPER!

Departmental Recycling Coordinator
.
County has agreements with approved vendors to collect and recycle paper. To view contract terms and conditions, your department's Facilities Manager may contact Internal Services Department, Linda Zhang at 323-267-2205. To obtain services, your department's Facilities Manager may contact:

TIPS:
Set your printers and copiers for double-sided printing.
Place a desk-side paper bin next to your printer to collect paper for recycling.
Place additional desk-side paper bins at employee workstations where needed.
With less to trash, you can remove and relocate desk-side trash bins to be used by a local group of workstations instead of one at each workstation. Your department's Surplus Coordinator can send surplus desk-side trash bins to be used by other County facilities to the
L.A. County Surplus Program
.
Buy recycled-content paper. To obtain this paper at discounted rates, refer to the
Preferable Green Products
page.
