"Giant yellow and green bins will be popping up all over Jacksonville, encouraging residents to recycle and nonprofits to diversify their funding streams.
The city and Paper Retriever, part of a national recycling company, announced the partnership Wednesday near City Hall.
Schools, churches and other nonprofits host the bins at no cost. The paper is collected, and the host receives money based on the weight of the load. The nonprofit does not have to pay to host the bin.
Winn-Dixie stores will also host the bins and give the proceeds to Keep Jacksonville Beautiful, the city's anti-litter agency.
If for-profit businesses host the bins, proceeds must be given to a charity, said Christina Kirk, marketing manager for the recycling division of Paper Retrievers.
Paper Retrievers also donated $5,000 to the agency Wednesday and is committing another $5,000 based on the amount of paper collected.
Mayor John Peyton and former Mayor Jake Godbold accepted the donation and discussed the program in Hemming Plaza.
Peyton said the efforts are part of a push to make Jacksonville a more sustainable community and can help raise money for groups when donations are tight.
People can drop off any type of paper - regular white paper, newspapers, magazines and glossy ads. Residents are encouraged not to put cardboard in the bins.The program is in more than 20 cities and has been active for about 15 years in several Texas cities, including Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, Kirk said."
