I am MK, an 8th grade student at Foothill Country Day School in Claremont, California. Please join me in helping preserve the environment by recycling your used inkjet and toner/laser cartridges.
You can drop them off at our schoo located at 1560 W. Harrison Ave., Claremont, CAl. We will ensure they are properly recycled. We also receive a small revenue from these cartridges which we will use for other environmental programs.
These facts are from NYTimes article "The Afterlife of Cellphones".
- Reprocessing 1 empty laser toner cartridge averts 2.5 pounds of solid waste from being landfilled
- Recycling 1 printer cartridge prevents natural resources, such as oil, from being used to produce a new one.
- Remanufacturing 1 cell phone stops 220 pounds of waste from being generated.
