Business Briefs

Office Depot and OfficeMax stores recently launched a back-to-school binder recycling program in partnership with recycler TerraCycle. Shoppers can bring any empty binder to one of the stores and receive a $2-off coupon on a new binder purchase.

Old binders can be recycled at store

Office Depot has a Binder Recycling Program that encourages shoppers to drop off old binders through the recycling company TerraCycle instead of having binders be thrown away and go to the landfill. Shoppers can bring any old empty binder to an Office Depot or OfficeMax retail location and receive a $2 instant discount off a same-day binder purchase. Office Depot in Hammond is at 2260 W. Thomas St.

The "Three R's" of Back-to-School

For some recycling ideas, TerraCycle has a variety of recycling programs for common school supply waste streams. Empty pens and markers, for example, can be recycled through the Writing Instrument Recycling Program. In partnership with Newell Brands (makers of Sharpie, Papermate, Uniball), TerraCycle can collect any brand of common writing instrument and recycle them into new products, like park benches and playgrounds for schools.
