Recycling Printer Cartridges as a Fundraiser Idea
Everyone knows that recycling helps keep waste out of landfills. Many items such as paper, plastic drink containers, and cardboard boxes are easy to recycle. In most communities, people can take these items to the curb in bins for hassle-free, earth-friendly recycling. Items like printer cartridges, however, can be more difficult to recycle.
Raise Money with Recycling
Did you know you can actually raise money for your school, church, or non-profit organization by collecting and recycling printer cartridges? Individuals and businesses all over your community empty printer cartridges on a regular basis, and you could raise money and decrease waste that winds up in landfills by collecting these empty cartridges.
The Way It Works
It really is as simple as collecting cartridges and then shipping them to Dazz Cycle. In fact, you don’t even have to pay for shipping. We’ll cover the cost. Here are the details:
1. Review the information on our website concerning which cartridges we accept. Remember, we accept only printer cartridges, not toner cartridges for copiers. Those can be recycled elsewhere.
2. Let your supporters know about your fundraiser. Many individuals and offices dispose of printer cartridges immediately when they run out, so it might be a good idea to hold your fundraiser over an extended period of time in order to get the most cartridges to recycle.
3. Review our information concerning places and ways for collecting and recycling printer cartridges. Remember that businesses go through a lot of ink, so collecting from places such as car dealers, hospitals, and government offices could be beneficial to your cause.
4. Once you’ve collected the cartridges, contact us for free shipping labels and fill out one of our cartridge inventory sheets. These sheets can be sent to us via fax or returned in the box of recyclables.
We pay between $.05 and $4.00 for each inkjet printer cartridge and up to $12 for each laser cartridge. These prices can fluctuate significantly, but we work to keep our buyback list up to date. Why not try this innovative fundraising option for your organization?
