Recycle paper & help nonprofits in your community at the same time.

In today's world, thanks to a paper recycling company called Paper Retriever, all sorts of paper can be recycled instead of getting tossed into the trash--and it can benefit nonprofits in your community at the same time, as this program is a fundraising effort geared toward helping causes you care about in your hometown.

Paper Retriver bins are currently set up in 12 different states across the U.S. You might recognize the yellow and green bins because they are perched outside of many schools, churches, township buildings, firehouses, and locations of other nonprofits. The paper gathered goes toward helping these nonprofits to supplement their budgets, which is especially needed lately, given the less cheerful persuasion of economic conditions in the past few years. 

Knowing there is something you can do to be a part of the greater solution is its own perk, and it means you can be a part of setting a good example in your own town. It also offers an easy opportunity to reach out to our children so we can get through to them early in life about the importance of recycling and supporting our communities. And then there's the bonus where it keeps paper out of landfills, too.

If your state doesn't have Paper Retriever bins, you can call Paper Retriever to encourage them to join your community, and talk to those you know who are running nonprofits in your area as well. Express that there is a need and that you and your neighbors want to help support this cause while recycling for free at the same time. It is a win-win for you, trees, your community, and the nonprofits that matter most to you.

Search for the closest Paper Retriever bin near you, and spread the good word of helping nonprofits through recycling all sorts of snippets of paper.
