Papersave Pickup Program
Why Participate in Papersave?
Fiber products make up over 40% of the total waste that goes into the landfill. Raven offers a collection service to help stem the amount being buried in the landfill.
Throwing paper and cardboard into the landfill is expensive. Beyond our local landfill and the accompanying tax dollars spent there, the overall environmental cost of paper is high. Pulp and paper production creates some of the most toxic byproduct that any industry can produce.
Pulp and paper mills use a great deal of energy and consume enormous amounts of fresh water. In addition, the burial in landfills of half the trees we cut down after a single use is a waste of a precious natural resource.
Raven Recycling has a commercial pickup service for “paper”; “corrugated cardboard”; and various other commodities that we group simply for lack of a snazzy title as “recyclables”. Each commercial pickup service is technically controlled by a separate contract and with the exception of a few differences, the main service charges are exactly the same.
The Society will charge a flat fee of $5.00 per pick-up, plus $5.00 for each 5 minutes of service time. Additional service time will be charged in 5-minute increments. (for example: $10.00 will be charged for the first 5 minutes of service, and $5.00 will be charged for each additional 5 minutes of service.) As a client, you are invoiced every two months.
