The Houston SPCA has gone green by renovating the barn to help the farm animals and the earth.  Now, they are going one step further by inviting the public to join them as they recycle old papers to raise money to help the thousands of homeless and abused animals they care for every year.

Thanks to www.PaperRetriever.com, the SPCA has set up a large green and yellow recycling bin in the parking lot in front of the affiliate, the Wildlife Rehab and Education Center located just off of Old Katy Road (click for map).

PaperRetriever.com is a community-based recycling program designed for schools, non-profit organizations and places of worship to help raise money.  The bin will be accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Each time a person drops off old newspapers, magazines, shopping catalogs, junk mail, school papers, office papers, envelopes and phone books into the bin, the Houston SPCA will receive $5 dollars for every ton of paper.  The money received from the recycled paper will then go back to the shelter to help the animals in need. 

With our commitment to both animal rescue and green living, the Puryear Team fully supports the Houston SPCA in this worthy endeavor!  We hope you will too!
