Having a paper bill fee does three things.

1.	It makes you stop and think, “Do I want to pay extra to receive paper bills?” You consider, “How else could I get my bills?” U4 suggests getting your monthly bill via email at no cost. Our goal is for you to consider a Green choice for all your bills and help improve the environment.
2.	Only the people who use the service pay for it, keeping the costs down for others.
3.	A portion of the paper bill fee goes into U4’s plant-a-tree fund. By reducing the amount of paper you use, you save trees and the environment. U4 is based in Syracuse, Indiana which is part of Tree City USA.

U4 also encourages you to pay your bill online.
