Abitibi Consolidated is the global leader in manufacturing and recycling newsprint, but more significantly it is an industry leader as a company that offers a free program to non-profit organizations, such as churches and schools, through its division called Abitibi Paper Retriever. They provide a 7-cubic-yard recycling bin for your group to recycle all kinds of paper products.  Abitibi empties the bin at no charge, weighs how many pounds of paper have been recycled and cuts a check each month to the organization for every pound of paper they’ve recycled - no strings attached.

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. Churches have been known to use this to fund a variety of things such as church maintenance, missions trips, or to support a charity. This is a great way for members of a church to dispose of all their paper that might have otherwise been thrown away.

Businesses can get involved in this program too either by collecting their paper to take to a local organization that has a bin, or, if they gross a certain volume of paper, businesses are eligible for their own free recycling program with the proceeds donated to an organization of their choosing.
