Cartridge World Milford celebrates five-year anniversary

For the past five years, Cartridge World Milford has been saving customers money on ink and toner and making impacts in the community.

The locally owned store, in Milford’s Quarry Square shopping plaza at 196 East Main St, (Rt 16), was opened by Will Roper of Hopedale in August 2008, and serves Milford, Westborough, Southborough, Framingham, Ashland, Hopkinton, Holliston, Upton, Hopedale, Franklin, Medway and Bellingham.

“We’re lucky to be a part of the area community and are grateful for the support our customers have given us these first five years,” Roper said. “We plan to serve the residents and business community with excellent service, excellent products and low prices for many years to come.”

The store is part of a number of community and civic organizations in the region, including the Milford Area and Corridor Nine Chambers of Commerce.

Cartridge World Milford is a supporter of many community efforts and events but in particular the Milford Special Olympics, after being charmed by one of their special needs customers. 

“These kids are so joyful and just want to have fun, it’s great to be able to contribute to their efforts and see their smiles,” Roper said. “I can definitely support that goal.”  

Cartridge World Milford is again sponsoring the Milford Community Program’s  ninth-annual 5k Road Race and Walk fundraising event for the benefit of the Milford Area Special Olympics, being held Sept. 21 at Milford High School.

Cartridge World customers save as much as 35 percent over new cartridge prices. Empty cartridges are remanufactured into a high-quality, fully functional and 100-percent guaranteed printer cartridges. These eco-friendly ink and toner cartridges lessen the impact on the environment by keeping empty cartridges out of landfills. Cartridge World Milford also offers customers expert printer advice and emergency troubleshooting, with free delivery for qualified businesses.

Coming from a background in library systems automation, Roper maintains partnerships with area libraries. The Hopedale and Milford Public Libraries serve as empty ink and toner cartridge recycling drop-off centers, and Roper provides store merchandise to the libraries in return.

All area residents are welcome to participate in Cartridge World’s recycling program, Roper said. Simply drop off used ink and toner cartridges at the store during business hours or at a participating library, school or church, rather than throwing them away.

For the past several years Roper has been a Conservation Commissioner for the Town of Hopedale. Will also enjoys being the bratwurst cook at Hopedale’s Oktoberfest, now in it’s fifth year, which benefits the Little Red Shop Museum and draws more than 8,000 people to historic Hopedale each fall.

Cartridge World Milford is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call Cartridge World at 508-478-SAVE (7283).
