Conserving paper in the City of Seattle




Recycling is good, using less is better

Beginning in 2005, City departments took actions to reduce paper by 15% by the end of 2005, 30% by the end of 2006 and maintain the 30% reduction levels going forward. In addition, we began using 100% post-consumer-waste recycled content paper as our standard for printing and copying. PaperCuts is a success, saving waste and pollution, saving time and money!

On these web pages, find out why it matters, what we did, and how you can do PaperCuts.
