Recycle your paper and earn money for Union Project Now you can recycle most of your paper at the Union Project! No more sorting! No more Saturday trips to the recycling center! Union Project is participating in the Abitibi Paper Retriever® program. A new green and yellow paper-recycling bin is located at the rear of the Union Project property along Samantha Way. This program will recycle all of the paper we collect, convey it to the world's largest newspaper recycler for use in manufacturing newsprint, and, in exchange for our donation of these reusable resources, pay us for the paper we collect! Abitibi will recycle catalogs, colored paper, envelopes, fax paper, folders, junk mail, magazines, newspapers, newspaper advertisements and inserts, notebooks and office paper.
