Be GREEN and raise GREEN for St. Margaret Mary

by recycling empty printer cartridges and

used cell phones!

FACT: An average student uses between 6-10 inkjets a year.  A small-medium sized business can use between 100-800 toners a year.

FACT: Less than 15% of used printer cartridges are recycled each year, meaning over 85% end up in landfills.

FACT: Plastics used in cartridges can take over 1,000 years to decompose.

STUDENTS:  please continue collecting and bringing in empty ink & toner cartridges and used cell phones.  We earn money by recycling them so don’t forget to check with relatives and businesses. 

PARENTS: do you have empty ink & toner cartridges at work that you’d like to donate to the school?  Let us know and we’ll have them picked up on a regular basis.  All proceeds from your cartridges will go to the school.
