The Wanamaker Office Building

At The Wanamaker Office Building, we appreciate and support the positive effect that recycling can have on the environment.

This program requires tenant participation in separation of non-recyclable from recyclable office waste. In order to facilitate this process, the cleaning staff places black colored liners in the trash cans located by coffee makers, in conference rooms, lunchrooms and kitchenettes. These trash cans will be designated for "non-recyclables" or "landfill" only. All other waste receptacles will have "clear" liners so that they may be properly recycled.

We depend on every tenant administrator to inform their personnel of this waste separation system. The waste receptacle under each desk has a "clear" liner and is for recyclable materials only, including empty aluminum cans and plastic or glass bottles. Please instruct those persons who eat at their desks to use the proper receptacle for their lunch waste, not the recycling receptacle by their desk.

We are in compliance with the City of Philadelphia's recycling requirements.
