Abitibi Paper Retriever is the global leader in the manufacturing and recycling of newsprint, but it is also a company that offers a free program to churches, schools, and non-profit organizations.  They provide a 7-cubic-yard recycling bin (the same size as a small dumpster) for your group to dump all kinds of paper products into.  Abitibi will empty your bin regularly, weigh how many pounds of paper you’ve recycled and, on the 15th of each month, cut a check to you.  They pay you for every pound of paper you’ve recycled – no strings attached.  Churches have been known to use this cash to fund their church maintenance, pay for a missions trip, or to support a charity.  The benefit of this program is two-fold… not only do you keep mounds of paper out of landfills, but you also get to see tangible results through the monthly payment.  This could be a great way for members of a church to dispose of all their paper, junk mail, catalogs, and other paper products they would otherwise simply throw away.
