St. Kevin School offers a recycling program that will make it easy for area residents to recycle newspapers, magazines, and other papers. Abitibi Paper Retrievers is located outside of the Parish Life Center. Local residents can drop off old newspapers, magazines, and junk mail that will be recycled in an effort to raise funds to support school programs.
With paper comprising nearly 40 percent of the U.S. garbage, efforts made through the Abitibi Paper Retriever program have saved an estimated 8.5 million cubic yards of landfill space in North America each year. Lend us a hand in preserving precious natural resources. We hope you will join our students and become active participants in our environmental initiative.
