Keep Noblesville Beautiful (KNB) Participated in Paper Retriever’s Nationwide
Paper Drive
April 13, 2011
- Keep Noblesville Beautiful (KNB) recycled 3.79 tons of paper during the month of March in celebration of Earth
Day. “We actually recycled 41.49 tons of paper in 2010, and we are
off to a great start in 2011!” said Keep Noblesville Beautiful Chairperson – Dan
Gaither. “We encourage everyone in our community to
bring the newspapers, magazines, catalogs, old mail, office and school papers
to our green and yellow bin.” This paper
drive is aimed at encouraging community members to be good stewards of the
environment while also supporting local non-profits by recycling through Paper
Retriever bins. Organizations that host
Paper Retriever bins will receive an “Earth Day Bonus” based on the amount of
paper recycled through their bins during the month of March.
The proceeds
from the paper drive at Keep Noblesville Beautiful go to assist with their community
beautification efforts. The recycling
effort is organized by our Board of Directors and KNB sponsored Paper Retriever
bins are located in the parking lot of the Logan Street and Hazel Dell Parkway Kroger
stores.
“Earth
Day is a time for us to focus on the small things each of us can do to better
our planet, “ said Sylvain Longval, Vice President of Recycling with Paper
Retriever. “Paper Retriever gives people in the community an opportunity to do
that and more. By simply recycling our paper, we can help non-profit
organizations earn money while making a good environmental change as well.”
