St. Mark’s Recycling Program
We have a paper recycling bin, located across the parking lot from the Community Building. It is furnished to us at no charge by the Abitibi-Bowater company, which provides 70% of the paper used for all the newspapers currently printed in the world.
Each ton of paper that is recycled saves:
*4102 kilowatt-hours of electricity
* 60 pounds of air pollution
*7000 gallons of water and
*3.3 cubic yards of landfill space
In addition, St. Mark’s will receive a payment from the company each month, dependent on the amount of paper we recycle.
Accepted Items are:
Newspapers Magazines Mail
Catalogs School & office papers
