Calling all Recyclers! St. Therese School is Looking for Ink Cartridges

Recycling and Fundraising work Together for this Local Catholic Grammar School

Do you work in a busy office or from home and use refillable toner or ink cartridges that are most often thrown away instead of being recycled? Now you have another option that will keep your cartridges out of the landfill as well as help an Aurora Catholic grammar school.

St. Therese School works with the leading collector and recycler of toner and ink cartridges in the United States. On a regular basis, cartridges are sent to Erie, PA where they are refurbished and then resold. In exchange for collecting and shipping the cartridges, the school is paid between $0.20 and $11/cartridge.

Want to get more people involved? Simply set up a spot in your office and alert your co-workers to our cause. On a monthly basis, drop the cartridges off at our school anytime between 7:30am and 3:00pm, Monday through Friday.
