epatrolRECYCLING IN MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS

Proper recycling at your school or office not only saves trees, it saves money:

Your town recycling committee encourages you to recycle in all municipal buildings. Separating the trash and your department or school could save our community thousands of dollars annually !

SEPARATE YOUR TRASH!
It's simple, save the white paper separate from other papers. In the long run saves time and earns money!

The city gets paid approximately $50 per ton for mixed paper and cardboard that is separated This all comes back to you!

IF YOU DO NOT SEPARATE YOUR TRASH:
It costs approximately $110 per ton to collect and dispose of trash from a dumpster

How to assist in school or your office building:
Ensure all paper is recycled
Ensure all paper is separated from dumpster trash
