Goal : 500
Total Recycled: 89
Dear Parents/Guardians,
School districts and nonprofit organizations across the county have been dealing with huge budget cuts, but we’ve found a way to supplement our finances to get the Library Resources we need.
Infant of Prague Catholic School is participating in a Recycling Program! This fundraiser is FREE and simple because there’s nothing to sell, no paperwork to fill out and no deadline. The program runs year-round, accumulating constant income for our efforts. But we won’t get very far without your support. Please donate your empty printer cartridges and used cell phones to our Library and we’ll take it from there! We will recycle the cartridges and cell phones through different companies to earn new books, teacher resources, overhead kits, audiovisual equipment, and technology equipment to update our Library.
Last year alone, more than 300 million cartridges were thrown away, while 30,000,000 cell phones were tossed or replaced. We’re alleviating the volume of waste that goes into landfills, while earning products. We need to keep our Infant of Prague running smoothly. Your help is vital to our fundraising success.
Cell phones and cartridges can be dropped off at the following location: Infant Of Prague School Library: Look for the signs and the Blue bin.
We ask all ink cartridges be placed in original packages or in a Ziploc bag to prevent any leaking. Please follow the link for acceptable items to recycle.
If you work for a business that is using laser or inkjet printer cartridges or cell phones, please inquire as to what is done with those items once they are used. You can collect them for the school and help us earn library supplies.
If you have any questions about this great opportunity, please feel free to e-mail me at sarah.pappas@iopschool.net. Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sarah Pappas
