Abstract
An apparatus and method for retrofitting a paper towel dispenser by the insertion of a retrofit in the dispenser. The retrofit is mounted to the dispenser so as to reduce the dispensing orifice of the dispenser and thus prevents the user from extracting more than one towel at a time. The waste and expenditure associated with the dispenser is thereby significantly reduced.
