Category: Rubbish Removal

Introduction

End of lease cleaning is probably the most important cleaning you’ll ever do. It’s important because, as part of your lease agreement, your landlord requires that you return the property in the same or better condition as when you found it. When you do that, you’ll make your landlord happy…and a happy landlord will return your bond.

With all this riding on your end of lease cleanout, the task may seem intimidating, especially when your hard-earned cash is on the line. But with some planning and our comprehensive checklists, you can do it efficiently, put a smile on the landlord’s face, and get your bond back.

 

What exactly is an end of lease clean?

You could say it’s spring cleaning on steroids. An end of lease clean is the process you go through when your tenancy concludes, and it’s far more detailed than the occasional clean you’d give your rented home (or rented office/commercial premises) while you were occupying the property. The final result must meet the terms of your lease agreement so that the vacant property can be offered in good condition to a prospective new tenant.

 

Planning ahead

Take a Boy Scout approach to your cleanout: Be Prepared! By planning ahead, step by step, you can transform a daunting cleanout into a series of easily manageable tasks. This schedule shows how to put such a plan into action:

 

• One month before your end of lease

Book professional services that need to be completed before you vacate. For example, your lease will almost certainly state that carpets need to be professionally cleaned. To satisfy this requirement, book a carpet cleaner to come in the day before you hand back the keys.

Other services might include pest control, lawn mowing, or gardening. Go through your lease agreement to check what’s required and, as they say in the classics, lock ‘em in.

You may also want to consider using a rubbish removal service to quickly remove any unwanted junk. This is a great way to save time and effectively clear out any waste that can be challenging to move or throw out. The best part of this solution is that the rubbish is removed from your home within a few hours.

While you’re in thinking ahead mode, cancel utilities like power, gas, and internet.

 

• Seven days before your end of lease

Clean the exterior of the property

A week out, and your end of lease clean should head outdoors. Tidy the exterior of your rental property by removing rubbish e.g. cigarette butts, bottle tops, toys, dead leaves.

Hose and sweep exterior walls to remove dirt and cobwebs.

Replace dead plants and weed the garden. Trim untidy trees and shrubs, mow the lawns (edging the lawn borders will make the area look extra neat) and apply weed killer if required.

Scrub your driveway (or commercial carpark) with warm, soapy water. You might need to invest in oil and grease remover from the hardware store to remove residual oil spill or tyre marks.

That oil remover will come in handy if there are similar stains on the garage floor. While you’re in there, sweep the floor, remove cobwebs and spray the interior and exterior with insect spray.

 

Clean inside your rental property

Remove and wash light fittings. To avoid water spots, dry them properly before you put them back. Check all light globes are working, replace those that aren’t.

Wipe air conditioners, ceiling fans and smoke alarms.

Clean exhaust fans in the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet. They collect a lot of dust, which will be noticed by your property manager or landlord. It’s imperative you remove and clean them.

Venetian blinds also attract dust, and each slat should be wiped clean.

Check curtains for dirt and marks. Check if curtains can be washed or drycleaned. If not, a vacuum cleaner might remove dirt and dust.

The final task today is to check the ceiling for fly or inspect spots. Sponge clean the ceiling with a mild detergent in warm water. Test clean a small section to check paint doesn’t come off.

 

• Three days before your end of lease

Three days out, and you’re feeling on track. That’s because you’ve already done a lot of cleaning and booked the professional services you require. Planning ahead is good!

At this point, it’s time to clean interior and exterior windows. For a landlord-pleasing result, consult our specific cleaning tips in the next section of this guide.

It’s not just the glass you should pay attention to. Remove cobwebs from the window frames. Clean dirt from window tracks by carefully running a screwdriver along them, before vacuuming with a narrow nozzle. For a final wipe clean, use a damp cloth.

If you have fly screens, use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose dirt and dust. For stubborn dirt, place a screwdriver under the screen, gently lift up and slide to the left or right, before removing. This will let you hose down the fly screen.

 

• Two days before your end of lease

This is a milestone. It’s your final day of cleaning. There’s still a bit to do but the finishing line is within sight.

Living areas, bedrooms and corridors

Vacuum inside wardrobes and cupboards, and wash with warm, soapy water. Keep doors open afterwards to speed up the drying process.

Remove any hooks, posters or sticky tape you put up during your tenancy, with no tell-tale marks left behind. Remove cobwebs and wipe painted walls with sugar soap or mild detergent. Don’t overlook light switches – wipe off grime and fingerprints.

Kitchen

The biggest job is cleaning your oven and cooktop, including removable parts like the range hood, stovetop, and knobs. The oven glass probably hasn’t been washed too often during your tenancy, so do it now. Check the oven’s instruction manual for removal and cleaning directions.

Benchtops need to be wiped down, and cupboards washed inside and out. Wipe down walls, particularly around cooking areas.

Laundry areas

Calcium or rust build-up in the laundry sink and cupboards can be removed with a crème cleanser and sponge. Wipe all tap fittings and wall tiles and scrub stubborn marks off the floor with the cleanser.

Bathroom

Don’t clean the bathroom too early. As it’s the most used room in the house, leave this job towards the end of the day.

Vacuum the bathroom floor to remove hair and loose objects. This will make it easier to mop later.

Wet down your shower then clean using a crème cleanser and sponge. Concentrate on corners, door frame, and the top of the walls. These areas are often neglected during your usual cleaning routine, and soap scum, mould and rust stains can accumulate.

Remove mould from tiles, grout, ceiling and walls. For tough mould, dip an old toothbrush into bleach and scrub.

Unclog the drain, before rinsing the shower with water.

Clean your toilet like its never been cleaned before. This includes fittings, cistern, behind your toilet, wall tiles and the pipes. Scrub the bowl with an antibacterial toilet cleaner.

Floors

You’re nearly there. The last thing to do today is clean the floors. Vacuum the entire house so it’s ready for the carpet cleaner tomorrow. Sweep and mop hard floors.

 

• One day before your end of lease

Thanks to your forward planning a month ago, your carpet cleaner will turn up today. Keep a copy of the invoice as proof that the job has been done by a professional.

Finally, one last walk-through. Use this guide as a checklist, as well as your lease agreement, and tick things off room by room. Be fussy! You want to minimise the chances of tenancy disputes and maximise the chances of getting your bond back.

End of Lease Cleaning Checklists and Tips

Now you know what to do, and when to do it, here’s some more detailed advice on how you should do it.

• Before you start cleaning, go through each room and write down what you’ll need e.g. oven cleaner for the kitchen, crème cleanser for the bathroom, etc. Keep everything together so you don’t waste time hunting down stray cleaning products.
• Be methodical when cleaning so you don’t miss a thing. e.g. clean from left to right, or from back to front.
• Do the dry cleaning first, like dusting, vacuuming and sweeping, then wipe surfaces with a damp cloth, or mop floors.
• Don’t forget about the mess left by your pets. This might include fleas so fumigate the property if required.
• Print off the following checklists and tick each task off during your final walkthrough.

 

End of Lease Cleaning Checklist and Tips: Exterior

• Clear letterbox and compost bin.
• Check outdoor lighting is clean and in working order.
• Sweep garage floor and driveway. Remove dirt or oil marks.
• Hose down the garage door. Check the door opener is working.
• Remove all rubbish, wash out household bins.
• Clean exterior windows. Fill a bucket with warm, soapy water and use a sponge to remove dirt build-up. Finally, squeegee the window with firm pressure. After each stroke, dry your squeegee. To avoid lines, make sure each stroke slightly overlaps the last.
• Mow lawns, tidy, weed and water the garden, replace dead plants.

 

End of Lease Cleaning Checklist and Tips: Interior

• Empty, vacuum and wipe wardrobes, cupboards, and drawers.
• Check all light globes are working, clean fittings and switches.
• Wipe window ledges, architraves, skirting boards, picture rails and doors.
• Clean interior windows. Use the same method as exterior windows but with less water on your sponge. Place a towel under the window.
• Wipe down the air conditioner unit. Clean vents, and wash and dry the filter.
• Clean the top of ceiling fan blades.
• Clean Venetian and Vertical blinds slat by slat.
• Wash or dry-clean curtains and re-hang.
• Wipe door hardware and surrounds.
• Eliminate traces of cigarette odour, clean nicotine stains off walls and ceilings.
• Clean any furniture provided by the landlord, ensure it’s in its original position.

 

End of Lease Cleaning Checklist and Tips: Kitchen

• Clean oven walls, racks and grill, and leave cleaned trays inside. For an alternative to harsh chemical-based cleaners, try this simple formula. Mix half a cup of baking soda with three tablespoons of water. Adjust this ratio until you have a smooth paste. Spread the paste on oven walls, taking care to avoid heating elements in an electric oven. Leave overnight before removing the paste, then spray with vinegar. Wipe away the resulting foam.
• Remove stovetop stains and clean.
• Wash filters and clean range hood. Check the overhead light is working.
• Clean dishwasher, including rubbers, door and filter.  To kill bacteria and leave the machine looking and smelling fresh, add a small cup of vinegar to a wash cycle.
• Clear food and debris from sink holes, plugs and taps. For a sparkling stainless-steel sink, wipe down with two drops of mineral oil on a sponge.
• Wipe countertops, benches and surface areas.
• Wipe cupboard interiors and exteriors.

 

End of Lease Cleaning Checklist and Tips: Bathroom & Laundry

• Clean baths, basins and toilets. Follow up by disinfecting these areas.
• Clean the showerhead. Fill a plastic bag with enough vinegar to submerge the nozzle and tie the bag in place. Leave overnight to remove residue.
• Clean glass shower walls and doors. For sparkling results, make a smooth paste of baking soda and vinegar, apply to the walls and leave for an hour. Remove with a damp cloth.
• Wash all surfaces, including tiled areas, walls and benchtops.
• Dust and polish towel rails and toilet roll holders.
• Clean sinks, drain holes, plugs and taps.

 

Summary

They’re comprehensive checklists. But with a plan in place, you can break them down into easily manageable sections. Without a plan – and without a checklist for that matter – you’ll resort to last-minute panic cleaning, and the results will be disappointing – especially for the landlord. Even more disappointing will be the grief you’ll have to go through to fix things up and get your bond back. So, when it’s time to do an end of lease clean, plan to do it properly, and plan to do it just once.

Green waste refers to all organic materials collected from your yard considered to be trash. It ranges from leaves and grass clippings to tree trunks and roots.

It’s easy to assume that the term ‘green waste’ means that the garbage is not harsh to the environment but like any other waste, green waste needs to be disposed of correctly so not to cause environmental degradation, health issues or pungent smells.

Like all other types of waste, if you’re caught dumping green waste you’ll receive a hefty fine. With most councils providing green bins, there’s no reason to take the risk!

How to Reuse or Recycle Green Waste

To maintain an aesthetically pleasing yard, a monthly garden clean up will not only keep the weeds at bay, but will create less work for you in the long run.

After the clean up is complete, consider composting the waste yourself, that way you can reuse the green waste on your garden to replace nutrients back into the soil, which in turn stimulates plant regrowth.

Chipping tree trunks and branches is another great option when you’re looking at reusing your green waste. This can be used on garden beds as mulch to help keep weeds down and also promote water saving.

If these options aren’t for you then Cheapest Load of Rubbish can help. By hiring us to remove your green waste, not only will you save yourself time but rest assured your trash will be taken to EPA approved facilities for disposal or reuse.

Conclusion

Green waste has a lot to offer the environment as long as the materials are recycled, composed and reused.

Despite large amounts of waste being produced by companies, very little gets recycled. This leads to landfills being over-saturated with recyclable material. By investing in recycling and implementing proper methods of waste management, not only do you contribute to saving the environment, but you also save on business running costs too.

A significant amount of waste produced by a company can be recycled. Items such as printing paper, cans, or coffee filters are easily recycled, but sadly their correct disposal is rarely thought of. The first thing business owners need to do is encourage their employees to monitor the environmental impact of their waste management practices.

Even for companies that place recycling bins throughout their office areas, most users don’t bother to put their waste in the proper bins. For others, the lack of adequate knowledge on what items go where is the main issue.

Business Waste Management Tips

If you already have a waste management program, but no one seems to be using it, the following tips will help you get the program in motion and fulfill your corporate responsibility in sustaining the environment.

1. Label bins at collection areas in your office so that recyclable materials are separated and placed in the correct bins.
2. Hold a toolbox talk or office meeting to instruct staff on recycling practices.
3. Evaluate how often your junk collection is made and if the bins are full during removal, adjustment your schedule to increase pick up frequency.  At Cheapest Load of Rubbish, we offer collections at a frequency to suit your needs.
4. Work to reduce the amount of waste you produce with reuse schemes. Repair and maintain work equipment where possible.

Having a proper waste management plan in your business to include recycling and reuse strategies will allow you to reduce your emission and carbon footprint, and in turn will show that you’re environmentally responsible.

1. Adopt the concept of composting.
2. Review your recycling plan monthly and assess its use through the workforce.
3. Find a method of disposal for electronic waste and furniture. You could consider reusing or repurposing.
4. Use digital methods of communication and banking.
5. Place recycling bins at a central location with information on proper strategies.
6. Provide employees with utensils to reduce the number of plastic items they bring to work.

Why You Should Hire Cheapest Load of Rubbish

After implementing waste management strategies and employing the proper recycling tips for your business, Cheapest Load of Rubbish will walk you through the disposal process.

Our team of rubbish removal professionals will ensure that your waste is handled correctly.

From outer space, the earth is seen as a beautiful azure sphere with two-thirds of its surface covered by extensive oceans. This sphere is our home and a majority of us revel in its beauty. However, up close, hidden just beneath the mesmerising turquoise surface is an alarming truth – human interference is threatening the health of our oceans.

According to a recent news report, around 8 million tons of plastic products enter the ocean every year. Discarded plastics look like food to aquatic animals and those who mistakenly consume the plastic cannot digest it. This causes clogging in their digestive system and ultimately, death. Other times, air-breathing aquatic animals get tangled in the plastic and cannot reach the surface, leading them to drown.

Regardless, discarded plastics are not the only manner in which we are clogging our oceans. Oil spills have catastrophic effects on marine communities. In 2010, one of the largest oil spills in the history of the United States took place in the Gulf of Mexico, where 4.9 million barrels of oil poured into the ocean. The oil not only polluted the waters and coral reefs underneath it but also eliminated ecosystems on the coasts nearby.

And of course, let us not forget global warming. An increase in global temperatures is causing the melting of polar ice caps and warming of our oceans. As a result, even the slightest changes in temperature is harmful to one of our most important ecosystems – coral reefs. Coral reefs are the source of nutrition to marine communities and when a coral dies, the animals and plants it supports also die. At present, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia is undergoing a bleaching event that began back in 2014 and is considered to be one of the worst bleaching events in history.

A vital interest for mankind

Oceans produce half of the oxygen we breathe. They contain more than 97% of the water on our planet, as well as provide 16% of the animal protein we eat. They also absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thereby helping to reduce major climate changes. Needless to say, oceans are essential to life on Earth.

Fortunately, creative young individuals are rising to the challenge to clean up ocean rubbish produced by mankind and to help save our planet:

 Drifting V-shaped system – When 24-year-old Boyan Slat was just a teenager, he had an ambitious idea to clean the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Now, a few years later, he is turning his idea into a reality. He is CEO of The Ocean Cleanup, an environmental organisation that has raised well over $31 million dollars to develop a drifting V-shaped system designed to collect waste collection from the oceans. By 2021, it is expected that the organisation will launch a total of 60 drifting V-shaped systems in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Moreover, it is predicted that these systems will clean up 50% of the waste in the patch in 5 years’ time.

The Seabin – When passionate surfers Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski realised that Earth’s most valuable natural resources were being endangered, they decided to do something about it. They decided to create the Seabin, a bucket with a pump and water filtration system that is designed to suck waste and rubbish floating on the water’s surface. The water filtration system absorbs oil right out from the ocean and then releases cleaner water through the other side of the pump.

The SeaVax – A trio from Sussex, England have invented a robotic ship called the SeaVax, which can suck up to 22 million kgs of plastic on an annual basis. The SeaVax is a self-driving ship that runs on solar power and wind. It has special sensors to spot rubbish, as well as sonar to protect ocean life and birds hovering above the water’s surface. The first ship has been developed; however, funding is being sought out to create more ships.

The microplastic removing rover – When 12-year-old Anna Du realised that something needed to be done about the massive amounts of discarded plastics floating in our oceans, she decided to design her very own subaquatic rover. Using infrared technology, the rover works by looking for and identifying microplastics. It is just a matter of time before Du’s invention starts cleaning the pollution from the oceans.

Everyone can do something to make a difference – even if it is just a small act. Here are some ways in which you can help heal our oceans:

• Educate yourself;
• Cut down on plastic usage;
• Buy ocean-friendly products;
• Volunteer your time to help clean up;
• Donate to an ocean charity;
• Support organisations addressing ocean-related issues;
• Spread the word!

As a generation of socially responsible and aware individuals, take the time to ensure you properly dispose of rubbish. This not only helps keep our waterways clean but also helps reduce the impact on sea life and vegetation.

The team at Cheapest Load of Rubbish can help ease the pressure on our waterways by helping to remove your rubbish in an environmentally safe manner. Our experts take all sorts of rubbish from residential addresses, commercial businesses and even construction sites. Contact us today to see how we can help you.

The team at Cheapest Load of Rubbish are dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of garbage. There are many negative effects of companies and individuals dumping rubbish and garbage illegally. We’ve developed this handy infographic to show these effects in a visual way.

What is illegal dumping?

• Illegal dumping is the dumping of waste in an unauthorised method.
• It is the illegal deposit of any waste onto land, including waste dumped or tipped on a site with no licence to accept waste.

Examples of illegal dumping:

• Throwing household waste or garden rubbish into nearby forests or parks.
• Dumping your construction waste in someone else’s bin.
• Leaving household goods or furniture on the side of the road with a free sign.

Why illegal dumping is so harmful:

• It can harm people’s health through exposure
• Can create fire hazards and block emergency exits which can endanger lives
• Can contaminate the environment and poison animals
• It can pollute waterways
• It costs millions of dollars of taxpayer money to clean up each year

The effects of illegal dumping:

A common method of illegal dumping is throwing garbage directly into a river or stream, this causes oceanic pollution and leads to the death of marine life.

Waste that is dumped illegally often contains dangerous and toxic substances, which soak in all the oceanic oxygen. This leads to depletion of oxygen available to mammals and other fish causing them to die in their natural habitat. Dolphins, seals and other sea life also get caught or choke on plastic material such as plastic bags and rings, causing debilitating health or death. Every year, according to reports, more than one million seabirds are being killed by ocean pollution.

Toxic substances can be released from the waste that is illegally dumped, this is damaging to people who come into contact with these substances. Children are most notably at risk if garbage is dumped in a public area such as a park.

Since 2004, NSW local government areas have reported an increase in illegal dumping, a problem costing one in 10 NSW councils more than $500,000 a year.

Some Interesting Statistics:

• 27% of waste producing businesses had dumped waste illegally in 2015.

Type of waste dumped:

• 20% Household – furniture, clothes, mattresses, etc
• 17% Household – domestic rubbish
• 17% Green Waste
• 10% Household – white goods
• 9% Construction and demolition
• 7% Tyres
• 5% Asbestos not mixed with other waste
• 5% Abandoned cars
• 4% Commercial and industrial waste
• 3% Asbestos mixed with other waste

The dictionary defines a quote as an estimate of the cost of a service. Most contractors should always ask if you would like a quote on any job that you want done, however, there are the odd few who may hesitate. This could be because they feel the job is too small or for technical reasons it could be too in depth for the type of work they want.

When it comes to commercial waste removal Sydney, a company should always be willing to estimate what your job might cost. Cheapest Load of Rubbish are always more than happy to give a free quote and remove any rubbish that you no longer need.

With the detailed quote, you will also be able to know if the price shoots up and you will be able to follow up to find out what tasks are responsible for the increase, something which is difficult to do with no quote.

This is great for those who are conscious of the environment.

You can compare quotes

Different waste removal companies have different charges attached to their services.

Rubbish removal can be difficult for anyone regardless of age. However, senior citizens may find it even more so due to the physical labour that is associated with moving large objects.

A service that offers cheap rubbish removal in Sydney comes in handy when it comes to removing furniture and other unwanted household items.

A junk removal service also comes with a project management aspect that proves to be useful for senior citizens.

Moving to a retirement village

When you get to a certain age, a retirement village can be the best option for you. To start with, you will find companionship with other seniors with whom you have a lot in common. Downsizing your home early enough prepares you for the move. That way, you will be able to transit in a smooth way as you will already know what it is you want to move with and what to leave behind.

Before the move, downsizing helps to create room for assistive devices and other modifications to your home that will make it easy for you to navigate. For example, you might need a service offering cheap rubbish removal Sydney to remove things like an old bath to create space for an easier to use shower area.

As a side benefit, you can use the rubbish you remove from your house to help those in need.

Moving into a smaller home

You may also use a company offering cheap rubbish removal Sydney to downsize if you want to move into a smaller home. When the children are all grown up and moved to their own homes, a smaller house makes more sense. Besides, house cleaning is easier when there are no unnecessary materials lying around.

Toys are an important part of a child’s growth. However, between the souvenirs, the hand-me-downs, the birthday gifts and the Christmas surprises your child can easily have too many toys. Any parent who has ever had a little one knows how partial and inconstant children are. One minute, they will love one toy and the next they have put that down in preference for the newest and shiniest toy.

Removing old or broken toys is a great way to help keep your kids safe and to keep the toy pile down. There are many ways to go about it but one sure bet is to periodically remove toys that are no longer needed. You can get a rubbish removal service in Chatswood to help get the job done. Here are four reasons why you should always get rid of broken toys:

Broken toys can harm your kids

Toys with things like cords and strings worked into their structure can detach after breaking. String and cords can pose a hazard as can internal packing materials made of styrofoam or polystyrene. It is also important to keep an eye out for any sharp edges or pieces that could come loose.

Don’t forget to check on battery-operated toys as over time batteries can leak and cause battery acid to leak into or on the outside of kids toys. When this happens the best thing you can do is throw it out.

Kids will not play with broken toys

You may notice that kids get bored with their toys once they break. They may go back to them every once in a while if the toy was a favourite, however, kids will likely start to dislike a toy when it breaks. Disposing of the toy keeps the child safe since the broken toy is no longer in their way.

You create room for more toys

Getting rid of old and broken toys gives your child an opportunity to play with newer ones. It allows you room to buy more and different toys for them. Besides, you create space in the house that was otherwise occupied by toys that are not in use.

You get a cleaner home

If your kids always leave the house messy with their toys, one way to control the mess is to make sure that there are not broken or unloved toys left lying around. Taking the time to go through the toy collection and pick out any unwanted toys will mean a cleaner and tidier house, well maybe just for a split second!

How Cheapest Loads of Rubbish can help

Moving rubbish from hard to reach places can be a difficult task. Sometimes large trucks and skip bins are just not a viable option when it comes to removing your rubbish. Whether it’s your home or business, rubbish shouldn’t be left to lie around. There are a couple of reasons for this which can include:

Preserving the health of the public

Environmental waste can affect the general public and so it is the responsibility of the business or homeowner to deal with their waste. Ideally, you want to remove any rubbish that is dangerous to public safety by local standards. For instance, in most regions, it is unlawful to dispose of car batteries anywhere because they contain elements like mercury which not only affect the population around an area but also the wildlife.

Protecting the environment

When you do not dispose of waste properly, you may expose the environment to dangerous chemicals. They may find their way into the water sources and the soil. Besides, things like plastic are non-biodegradable so they will cause the environment around you to look dirty for days on end.

How Cheapest Loads of Rubbish can help

The team at Cheapest Load of Rubbish are experienced in removing rubbish from hard to reach places. This includes inner-city homes with hard to reach backyards or areas that can’t fit a skip bin, businesses with hard to reach backdoor access and even small and large construction sites.

Moving rubbish by hand allows us to reach areas that other rubbish removal services can’t. This means we can help remove your rubbish and load our truck in a separate area. Working this way ensures little to no downtime for you while we clean up your home or business.

There are many reasons behind the current move to ‘go green.’ Ranging from conservation of nature to sustainability of resources, they all present compelling arguments.

Turning your office green doesn’t have to be a difficult task. There are small changes you can make to help make your office more environmentally friendly.

• Reduce waste and costs

If your business goes green, your waste (such as paper) will decrease. This will help to keep your office clean and tidy while giving you the ability to make use of recycling disposal methods.

• Improve public image and increase sales

In today’s world, branding is everything. A polished public image will help people care about you. While the public perception may not be the best driver to go green, it comes as an attractive benefit.

• For your employees

For many companies, an internal reason to go green is more important. A green company will want to give employees the best working environment. Green offices have reported seeing an increase in productivity and overall happiness in the workplace.
