AGIS Recycles

November, 2005

Don’t know what to do with all those holiday catalogs that have come in the mail? Do you put all your junk mail in with the regular trash? We have an easy way for you to recycle your paper products every week and help us raise money for technology.
Recycle all your newspapers, magazines, shopping catalogues, office & school papers, and mail with us. Send a bag of recyclable paper goods to AGIS with your son or daughter the last school day of each week. On “Recycle Day” students will take their home recyclables to the Abitibi Paper Retriever® recycle bin. We’ll recycle all those paper products for you.
Abitibi Paper Retriever pays us for each ton of recyclable paper trash. The more paper we recycle, the more money we make! We’ll even remind your child, through announcements, to bring their paper recyclables in the next day. How easy is that!
