Rethink Waste helps offices transition away from deskside bins

Deskside waste bins got you down? You're not alone. They're convenient, sure, but they've got a bad habit of letting recyclables sneak into landfill bins, plastic liners pile up, and clutter multiply.

Enter shared bins. They're cleaner, smarter, and way more organized. Recycling goes where it belongs, contamination drops, and hundreds of thousands of unnecessary plastic liners stay out of the landfill every year. Shared bins also encourage a quick stretch, a mental reset, and maybe even a brief hello with a coworker along the way. Small steps, big impact.
