Make Recycling Bins Visible

At its Vision Barcelona conference in November, Symantec diverted 55 percent of the waste away from landfills. "Visible, colored bins really stand out when you see them all around the venue, and they help our attendees recycle correctly," says Claudia van't Hullenaar, principal specialist for Symantec global event marketing.
