Paper Recycling

Earthworm offers you the choice of either white or mixed paper recycling. White paper recycling is less expensive, but the guidelines are more strict. Mixed paper recycling programs cost slightly more, but are easier to implement and allow for a greater amount of material to be recycled. Click here to see our free recycling options!
