We Walk The Talk
Welcome to Complete Office's green page. If you would like to read about the green initiatives our company has accomplished, and would like some tips to make yourself green then please take a look at our sustainability statement to learn how Complete Office Walks The Talk. You can also read below for general information on how we are continuing to go green.
The stats
Here are some estimates of the amount that we recycle per year:
| Description: | 2008 | 2009 |
| Scrap Wood: | 0* | 36,000 lb |
| Styrofoam: | 0* | 5,760 cu ft |
| Paper/Plastic/Cardboard: | 90,000 lb | 100,000 lb |
Our efforts not only help the environment; but it has also saves money. Recycling the above items versus putting it in the trash has saved us an average of $2,300 per year. We have also changed our warehouse lighting from metal halide to T5 lighting which provides an additional savings of $2,411 per year.

Extending past our walls
Complete Office offers its employees the opportunity to bring in recyclable material such as styrofoam, batteries and plastics if they are not able to recycle them from home. We also send out emails with tips to employees and customers to let them know how they can create a greener environment for work as well as home.
