Cash for Recycled Newspaper

In an effort to generate more newspaper volume, the Washington University Recycling Center is offering to pay a quarter for every foot of stacked, full sized newspapers brought in. (Full sized papers are papers the size of the Post or Globe. Smaller newspapers will be pro-rated according to size.) The newspaper must be “clean– No magazines or other types of paper can be mixed in.

The offer is being extended until December 14.

The center is located in the Washington University dormitory area, in the southwest corner of Wohl Center parking lot at 6515 Wydown Blvd.

The Center is open only on Saturdays and Sundays from 12-3 p.m.

In addition to newspaper, bottles and cans are also collected by the center. No monetary reimbursement is available for bottles and cans however, as money generated must be used to pay hauling costs.

The center is run on a volunteer basis and is non-profit.
