How To Recycle Printer Paper; Just in Case You Needed Instructions
This new policy for printer paper was sent to me by a friend. I don’t know whether to applaud it or laugh at it? I applaud the idea; the concept. I laugh that someone on the staff actually had to write instructions on how to recycle paper. Perhaps the budget problem is not printer paper; but having too many people on the payroll with way too much time on their hands?
Here goes………
Upon suggestion from our Chief Fiscal Officer, we’d like you all to adopt the following practice to save paper, which in turn will save the agency money, important in this time of extreme fiscal austerity, and save some trees, important always.
Begin immediately to use the blank back side of your recycled paper in the LAN computer printers. To do this, simply
* Collect your discarded, single side printed paper rather than recycle it immediately
* Draw a line or two through the printed side of the paper with either a pen or hi-liter to show that its the ‘old’ side
* When you’ve collected a reasonable amount of such paper, place it blank side up in your LAN printer
* Once the now two sided page has served it’s purpose, the please recycle the sheet
This way you’ll be fully using the paper before sending it on its way.
Note that this is not a suitable practice for the agency photocopiers, even if they’re also used as LAN printers. That’s because they’re already defaulted to do 2 sided copying to minimize paper use and maximize cost savings and efficiency.
If there are any questions about this, please contact me.
