Paper Retriever

The Paper Retriever program is a landfill-free, low-cost service for schools, offices, churches, and other community-based organizations. The program allows you to host collection bins on your property, benefiting both the environment and your organization. For some participants, based on volume and commodity markets, the Paper Retriever program is also an effective fundraising strategy. To maximize environmental impact, your school and local community must be fully aware of the program and its benefits. The more you recycle, the greater the impact.

Paper Retriever Partner You Can Trust

Royal Oak Recycling is a global leader in the recycling of paper and is one of the world’s largest independent newspaper and magazine recyclers. Paper placed in the Paper Retriever bin is directly recycled back into newsprint within a few weeks of it being collected. Acceptable materials include newspapers, magazines, catalogs, books, office paper, school paper, and mail with no need to sort.

Make the Most of Your Program

A Paper Retriever bin will hold between 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of paper. Less if the paper is simply loose school paper or shredded paper, more if the contents are the newspapers, catalogs and magazines that you need to encourage the local community to deposit. Follow these steps to make the most of your Paper Retriever program.
