Full Circle Recycling A true Full-Circle Recycler®, AbitibiBowater is North America's largest manufacturer of recycled content newsprint for use in making newspapers. The paper you recycle today may be the newspaper you read in just a few weeks….and again in two months...and again. That process is called Full-Circle Recycling.
Actively promoting the program in the surrounding community proves that working together is the way to building a greener future. Working together to maximize the benefits that recycling provides helps keep our communities clean, improves our quality of life, and raises dollars to fund projects.
Some of the ways your organization can increase the amount of paper in your bin are:
Place the bins in a very visible area outside where everyone will see them. Also make sure there is a bin in every room and in the office.
Advertise through your newsletter or bulletin, on the marquee, and in liturgical programs.
Place a shopping cart in the parking area, so that it is easier for members to drop off paper.
Make the first worship service of every month "Recycling Day." Tell members to bring their paper to the service, drive up, and volunteers will empty out their car for them.
Start a "Box Families" program. These are families that have pledged to bring a box of paper to services every week. Present these families with their box on "America Recycles Day."
Place bins along the hallway for members to use after a special event or performance.
Challenge the entire congregation to a certain tonnage amount for that month. The most important way you can make your program more successful is by encouraging community members to bring their paper and by communicating how their efforts are helping you to raise money for important projects.
