Recycling old school binders when purchasing new ones is being offered to shoppers by Terracycle at Office Depot and OfficeMax stores. Office Depot has teamed with Trenton-based Terracycle, which collects and repurposes hard-to-recycle, post-consumer waste. 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. The Binder Recycling Program encourages shoppers to help preserve the environment by recycling, since many binders are tossed into the garbage after each school year. TerraCycle is able to recycle the binders, significantly reducing the amount of waste going into landfills. “We’re excited to partner with TerraCycle this back-to-school season as parents, teachers and students prepare for the school year with new supplies,” said Ron Lalla, executive vice president of merchandising for Office Depot. “The program provides a way to recycle binders in an environmentally conscious way while also offering a discount to shoppers who are looking for new ones.” TerraCycle works with major manufacturers and retailers to recycle products and packaging that would normally be thrown away.
