Recycling Push at Quba Removes the Equivalent of Four Cars off the Road

At Quba, we try to be as environmentally responsible as we possibly can. A year ago we arranged for a company, Recycling Revolution, to start collecting all our cans, glass and plastics.  As you can imagine, getting people to use the correct bins for the correct waste can be pretty tricky, after all it is pretty complicated.  It took dedication to nag, pester, threaten and even confiscate personal bins for weeks at a time where necessary – at times I felt like giving up. 

 But in today’s post I finally got reward for all of my hard work, a certificate that Quba has now saved over 10 carbon tonnes which is equivalent to 4 cars off the road.  Fantastic news!  However it isn’t all good news I’m afraid, unfortunately for my colleagues I now feel that we, as a company, now need to beat this figure over the next year so I will be stepping up the supervision of the bins and the pestering will increase with vigour!  Sorry fellow Qubans….

    Great effort, it is just as difficult to get kids at home to do this. But they are getting better all the time. Every bit counts.
  • Thanks for the comment Irene. I imagine it's very difficult to get kids involved with recycling but you're doing a great job educating them while they're young!
  • Yay! Go Anna!
