Recycling

Interested in recycling? So are we! HEB recycling is discontinued, but some other information on recycling is here.

Recycling Bins
You can take your paper (newspapers, magazines, grocery bags, mail, phone books, wrapping paper, or office paper) to recycling bins, called Abitibi Paper Retrievers. These are located at all Klein Schools, Barbara Bush Library, and many local churches. For the paper to be processed efficiently, it must be clean, dry, and free of foreign objects such as plastic, twine, metal or glass. They do not accept any packaging such as cereal boxes or cardboard boxes such as used in moving or shipping.
