Recycling?
International Paper helps countless Texas schools recycle their old textbooks by the ton. Our recycling program provides a financial rebate for all your Out of Adoption textbooks. Our trucks will take up to 18 tons of retired textbooks, reduce your waste cost, and save storage space.
Paper is one of the most widely used products on the planet. International Paper Recycling realizes that paper can be recovered from many different waste streams and often ends up in the landfill. Unused or outdated textbooks are often part of these waste streams that cost companies and schools districts thousands of dollars to dispose. As an alternative, consider selling these textbooks to generate revenue and reduce landfill costs!
International Paper Recycling team is highly knowledgeable with extensive industry experience. We are industry leaders in collecting and processing of the material. Once textbooks are received and brought to our facility, they are shredded, baled, and shipped to our paper mills.
We know how essential it is for our service to consistently be on time and on budget. That’s why we deliver the highest quality service imaginable. From courteous and knowledgeable drivers, to empowered customer service representatives driving value; let International Paper Recycling be your premier textbook recycling partner. Feel confident in your ability to reduce waste and create sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions, at a value you can depend on
