ENVIRONMENTALLY BOUND ™
Recycling Program for Used Binders
American
Thermoplastic Company (ATC), in an effort toward environmental awareness, continues
an exciting recycling project called Environmentally Bound.
You can send your
used three-ring binders with working metal rings and vinyl covers to our plant
to be recycled, reused or properly disposed of. Since 1991 the Environmentally
Bound program has kept over 200,000 pounds of loose-leaf products out of landfills.
By participating in the program you will know that you made a contribution to
the environment and that your used binders didn’t end up in a landfill.
Please
follow these guidelines:
- Binders must be the vinyl type, with vinyl heat-sealed over (chip)board. Cover boards
cannot be bent, broken or damaged.
- Binders must have working metal rings.
- No paper should be on the rings or in the cartons.
- Donors must handle all shipping costs.
- For shipments of 100 or more binders, ATC must see a sample and know total quantity
before request can be approved.
- There will be no charge to recycle binders for ATC customers. Binders do not have to
have been made by ATC.
- There will be a $5.00 per carton disposal fee for donors who are not ATC customers.
The fee must be paid in advance with a credit card. Cartons cannot weigh more
than 40 pounds each.
- Call one of our customer service representatives before shipping any binders to ATC.
Our toll free number is: 800-245-6600
- There will be no credit issued for recycled binders sent to ATC.
- Mark the cartons: BINDERS FOR RECYCLING and ship them to:
