Going Frugal: Green Your School + Earn $$

Have you heard of Paper Retriever?
 
It’s an easy paper recycling program that your school or non-profit organization (churches, shelters, etc) can use to go green and as a fundraiser at the same time.

A cuter paper retriever.

It’s simple: Paper Retriever provides a huge recycling bin for your school or non-profit to collect all their paper recycling.  When it’s full, they pick it up and pay your organization for the recycled paper.

Talk about a win-win fundraiser!

This is in operation at my children’s school; in each classroom, they have a small bin for paper recycling.  The students all get involved in sorting and toting the paper to the big bin.  It’s been a great hands-on lesson for them in how much paper we waste every day and how easy it is to simply recycle it.  And they’re excited to be doing something tangible to help earn their school much-needed funds.

In these tough economic times, many schools, churches, and non-profits are feeling the pinch.  This fundraiser offers an easy way to put a few more bucks in the “Improvements” or “New Textbooks” fund.
