The Braley & Wellington Insurance Agency has started an in-house recycling program with the help of our Worcester-area Waste Management representative. Recognizing that the insurance industry is paper-intensive, we have taken a step towards environmental responsibility by recycling over 75% of the waste produced in our office. In the near future, our agency hopes to move toward paperless production, which would involve disposing most of our paper files. With our new recycling program, we will be able to do so in a much more environmentally friendly way. We will continue to shred and recycle any documents containing clients’ private information to ensure protection. What We Recycle Cardboard Why We Recycle Just recycling paper alone saves on energy, landfill space, and pollution. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves nearly 6.5 cubic feet of landfill space. Additionally, paper produced from recycled material uses only 60% of the energy and cuts 95% of the environmental pollutants used and created by paper produced from trees. We are proud that many of our employees and customers take the extra steps to recycle in their homes and businesses, so we are doing the same. The movement toward larger scale commercial recycling will have a significant impact on the environment and must happen one business at a time. We are happy to set an example in the communities we serve.
