Reducing Paper Waste


We are proud of our green billing program and the paper it saves. Canadians use 6 million tonnes of paper annually and only 1/4 of Canada’s waste paper and paperboard ends up being recycled. Working to reduce paper usage is one of the easiest ways to make a difference and reduce your carbon footprint. 

Here are National Home Services top tips for reducing your paper waste:

  • Choose e-billing and paperless billing options whenever possible. Most companies now offer email or paperless billing and can even email receipts instead of printing. Choose these paper saving options whenever you can. 
  • Set up a whiteboard or chalk board for to-do and shopping lists. 
  • Print and photocopy on both sides of the paper.    
  • Make it easy! Place recyling bins in easily accessible area. 
  • Use e-mail as much as possible and avoid paper memos. Only print when you need to.
