Can you tell me about cities (in the US, primarily) that have taken steps to promote / encourage recycling of mixed office paper (or any office paper) by office buildings (multi or single tenant) in their jurisdiction? Am asking on behalf of the City & County of San Francisco, a very office-intensive town, which is trying to raise its recycling rate to the neighborhood of 50% in the foreseeable future. We'd like to get in touch with people who have been involved with both the outreach to businesses and the actual recycling programs, to see if an approach can be well adapted for San Francisco. The city has strong programs, both public-sector and private-sector, in place for high-grade paper and newspaper; and commercial recycling companies serve many of the area's big businesses, for those grades of paper and the mixed office waste papers; but what can local gov't do to promote these efforts further, help them grow into "lower" grades of paper, and increase the customer base? What's been done in your town? Who can we talk to to learn more about it? I'll check on this message daily. Feel free to respond here or e-mail me; and thanks in advance.
