St. Teresa’s has a paper recycling bin. It is stationed in the back corner of our parking lot (north east) behind the four car garage. The paper we collect will not only keep our environment
cleaner (less thrown into landfills), it will also raise some money for the parish.

Here is How You Can Help
You can recycle paper at our location 7 days a week.

We earn money for paper dropped off at our green and yellow Paper Retriever® bin.
