The Norris Scout Center of Three Fires Council now hosts a community paper recycling program called the Paper Retriever. It is not just for the building to use but for the whole community as well; and since we earn money for all the paper collected each month, we need your assistance. Please bring all of your magazines, mail, newspapers, catalogs and office papers to the green and yellow bin in our parking lot; but do not include cardboard or phone books.
The paper is recycled by AbitibiBowater and used to make new newsprint. The entire process, from the time our bin is picked up to the time the newspaper is printed, only takes about two weeks. To celebrate Earth Day we can double our money in the month of April by recycling 2 tons (4,000 lbs.) of paper. Looking at some of our desks this should be easy. Please take advantage of this opportunity and do some spring cleaning and recycle the needless paper.
