The
Collinsville Library has entered into a paper
recycling contest. Bright green and yellow containers - called
Abitibi Paper Retrievers® - are placed in our ally where residents
can drop off their newspaper, magazines, shopping catalogs and mail.
We are collecting all types of clean, dry paper from our community.
We need a 40% increase from the number of pounds collected last summer
to win $1,000.00. Not a hard task for CV. Please think paper recycle
and help us achieve our goal. An additional collection container has
been added to our area for all those papers! Our
goal is 28.7 tons as of today we have collected 10 tons.
(June 21, 2007 per DR. Susan Babbitt))
Paper is weighed by a scale on the collection truck. Recovered paper is directed to processing centers where it is sorted into various grades and prepared for shipment. It is then routed to de-inking facilities and mills where it is used to manufacture recycled content newsprint. By diverting this paper from the waste stream, we estimate that over 2.2 million cubic yards of landfill space is saved each year. In addition, by eliminating our groundwood and kraft pulping operations at certain newsprint mills, Abitibi-Consolidated reduced air emissions and wastewater discharges.
