Recycling Revenue from Paper To Help Indiana Families In Need
Citizens can take newspapers, magazines, junk mail and old greeting cards to a collection bin at the church any time of the day. The bin is filling up faster than expected, according to church members.
The paper is collected by AbitibiBowater, one of the largest pulp and paper companies in North America. Through the Paper Retriever Program, non-profit organizations such as schools and churches are able to earn extra money for playground maintenance, beautification efforts, library enhancements, scholarships and team uniforms. In Chesterfield, the earnings will go to financially-strapped families.
In 2006, AbitiBowater paid more than $5 million to partner organizations in North America and the United Kingdom. Participants include 21 American cities across the country, according to the company’s site.
