In accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia, One Franklin Square recycles mixed paper, cardboard, glass, and aluminum.
Mixed Paper
Presently, the janitorial staff collects mixed paper recycling from each office, secretarial station, and copy room from designated recycling containers on a nightly basis. Mixed paper includes white paper, colored paper, magazines, newspapers, envelopes (both with and without windows), post-its, etc. It is extremely important that only recyclable mixed paper be placed in the recycling containers. Any food trash found in the recycling containers will cause the entire container to be discarded by the janitorial staff in the normal trash.
Cardboard
All discarded cardboard is taken from each Tenant space on a nightly basis. Tenants need to break down and flatten all boxes and clearly mark the cardboard as trash.
Aluminum & Glass
These materials are collected on a weekly basis from central collection locations within the Tenant’s Leased Premises.
We hope that the availability of these containers and the recycling service will act as the first step towards a heightened awareness of recycling at One Franklin Square. Additional, procedures will be forthcoming to increase the efficiency and substance of One Franklin Square's recycling effort. If you would like advice on how to collect recyclable materials more efficiently within your tenant space, please contact the Property Management Office.
