Get Paid to Recycle with Abitibi

Looking for a way to fund field trips for your students or trees to plant on school grounds? Here is a simple, cost-free way to raise some funds and help the environment.

The Abitibi Paper Retriever Program will pay you to recycle unwanted newspapers, magazines, mail, catalogs and office paper. Abitibi will supply your school with a large green and yellow Paper Retriever bin, at no cost, where you can collect recyclable paper from your school and the surrounding community.

Paper you collect will be picked up biweekly and taken to a local mill to be remanufactured into newsprint. A scale on the truck that picks up your paper weighs the amount you recycled and your school is paid for each pound of paper. So the more you recycle, the more you raise!

Along with raising funds, your class can be actively involved with the recycling effort and learn the value of recycling to the environment through a Monthly Retriever Scorecard. Using this scorecard, your students can track the tons of paper you’ve recycled, the money you’ve earned and the ecological impact of your efforts.
