All MSD duplicating machines must be capable of doing duplex (two-sided) copying; employees and consultants are advised to use that feature whenever possible.

MSD diverts a growing list of commodities from the local landfill by recycling. Office-based programs collect office paper, computer print-outs, newsprint, corrugated cardboard, phone books, laser toner cartridges and aluminum cans. Fleet maintenance personnel recycle used motor oil, batteries, tires, parts and carburetor cleaning fluids and freon. The Maintenance Department recycles foundry steel, cast iron and other scrap metals, much of which comes from decommissioning temporary plant tanks.

MSD offers composting training to its employees. Coffee grounds, filters and yardwaste are composted in bins at its Main Office. To provide an alternative to flushing household hazardous wastes down the sewer to the detriment of plant microbes, the environment and employees, MSD co-sponsored several collection events with local government, until they could set up a permanent facility.

Through aggressive monitoring of industrial discharges, MSD has reduced its biosolids concentrations of heavy metals so much that the horticultural sector could use it as a soil amendment. MSD plans two pilot beneficial reuse projects; the products will support utilization demonstrations and market surveys.

MSD is furthering its recycling efforts by using floor tile in MSD's main lobby that is made from approximately 70% pre-consumer and post-consumer glass wastes.
