Now that school’s over and summer’s officially here, it might be time to do a little cleaning up of last year’s school gear and supplies. Rather than just throwing them away, families can put them to good use by recycling them at Staples. And, in return, Staples will give them a special discount to use on buying new supplies for the home, office or school.
