Are there recycling programs for commercial buildings?

I've worked in several office buildings downtown that only have recycling bins for office paper. Everything else gets thrown away. I feel so guilty every time I throw away a plastic bottle at work, but right now the only alternative is to take all of my recycling home with me, which would be awkward on the bus. Does Seattle have a program for providing glass/plastic/non-office paper recycling in commercial buildings? If so, how can I get my building to participate? Would providing recycling bins be up to individual tenants or the building management?

    Yes, Seattle does offer free commercial recycling assistance through Resource Venture.

    However, it sound like your building management might be a first place to start. Once you find out what kind of arrangement they have for recycling, please suggest they call Resource Venture at (206) 343-8505 or www.resourceventure.org and they might be able to help them out to improve tenant recycling.
