What you can recycle:
Paper, Plastics, Cans | Printer Cartridges | Handphones | Name card boxes
Any contamination (wrong recycling) will waste the efforts of those before you. So read the labels on top of the bins before you recycle!
Most offices have been issued a paper recycling box (located either at the printers or mail room). Use it!
