Build a House with Paper and Cardboard!
Habitat ReStore Joins the Paper Recycling Program
In its efforts to become a community recycling center, the Habitat ReStore Home Improvement Outlet recently joined the Green Fiber Community Paper Recycling Program and can now accept paper and cardboard in addition to building material, appliances, furniture, and aluminum cans.
Community members are encouraged to bring newspaper, magazines, catalogues, junk mail, phone books, books, paper bags, cereal boxes, cardboard boxes, and white and colored office paper to the Green Fiber bins at these dropoff locations:
- U.S. Census parking lot - 2015 N 550 West, Provo
- Boy Scouts of America - 748 N 1340 West, Orem
- Vineyard Town Hall - 240 E Gammon Rd., Vineyard
- Habitat ReStore - 340 S Orem Blvd., Orem
- Upper Case Printing parking lot - 459 W Center St., Orem
- Genola City Park - 800 South and Main; north side of the pavilion, Genola
- Woodland Hills Fire Dept., Woodland Hills
Contact Jeff McDonald for more info or to setup a pickup program at your business: (801) 344-8527 or cans@habitatuc.org.
The paper will be manufactured into an environmentally friendly, highly efficient insulation for residential and commercial purposes. Recycling proceeds will help the local Habitat affiliate with its affordable housing efforts.
We need 13,500,000 pounds of paper/cardboard to build a home!
