The students and staff of the Stow-Munroe Falls City Schools have teamed
up with Abitibi Recycling Corp. to begin the Abitibi
Paper Retriever Program.
Anyone in the community can recycle paper 24 hours a day. All paper dropped
off at the recycling bin will help the schools, as Abitibi pays $15 per
ton. Businesses are
also welcome to recycle their paper at these sites.
Paper suitable for recycling through the Paper Retriever program includes
all clean and dry:
Newspapers
Magazines
Shopping catalogs
Office and school papers
Mail
Shredded paper bundled in plastic bags is also
acceptable. Phone books, manila folders and manila envelopes are not
accepted.
Abitibi Recycling will empty the Paper Retriever once a week and take
the paper to the processing center to be sorted. Paper is then sent to
one
of Abitibi’s de-inking facilities where it is turned into marketable
paper products such as newsprint.
Everyone in the community is encouraged to participate in this innovative
program to recycle paper products. Local involvement can help save landfills
pace, clean up the environment and earn money for the local schools.
In the program’s first 12 months, the district recycled 385 tons of paper, which netted $3,852 for the schools!
