Thanks for sharing these tips. I agree that it is a good feeling when customers are satisfied with the help that they have received. I also agree with taking a walk to clear your head. One of my tricks is listening to music - I definitely use this to clear my head when I have a chance, and often find that I am in a much better frame of mind and can better work with customers as a result.

It's easy, and it helps. Paper, inkjet/laser cartridges, CDs and DVDs are all pretty easy. How about batteries? CFLs? Cellphones? Even shoes can be recycled; Nike grinds them up and reuses the bits. (Admittedly, it might be a hard sell to convince management that collecting staffmembers' smelly old shoes in the copy room is a good thing.) Of course, reuse beats recycling. There are programs for cellphones, printer cartridges, even eyeglasses: http://www.care2.com/greenliving/charitable-recycling-eyeglasses.html Rechargeable batteries can be dropped off at any of 50,000 collection centers: http://www.rbrc.org/consumer/ I haven't tried it, but the Big Green Box seems like a pretty easy solution -- drop one of these in the office somewhere, and ship it back when it fills up: http://www.biggreenbox.com/ Great idea about starting a recycling program!
