Through Paper Retriever:
Recycle all your paper products using the big green/yellow bin in our additional parking lot, and the library gets anywhere from $5-$20 per ton for the trees we're saving. (The bin holds about two tons, and they empty it approximately twice a month.)What Goes In the Bin?
| Yes, Please! | No, Thanks! |
They are able to accept window envelopes, workbooks and staples without a problem. Shredded paper is acceptable but please bag the shreds before putting them in the Retriever bin.
