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.
