Recycling


The Paper Retriever® Program


The Paper Retriever® Program promotes recycling by placing Paper Retriever bins, at no cost, in highly visible areas at schools, churches and other non-profit organizations, which are then paid for the recyclable paper they collect. They use the funds for playground refurbishing, beautification efforts, library enhancements, scholarships, field and mission trips, team uniforms and many other worthwhile projects. In 2006, we paid more than $5 million to partner organizations in North America and the United Kingdom. The program is innovative and fun, and provides environmental education opportunities for children and their families as they become actively involved in the paper recovery process.

Recycling representatives distribute educational curriculum and other materials to participating organizations to help develop student environmental stewardship and paper recovery efforts.
