This afternoon I spent an hour or so sorting through the inkjet cartridges that have been donated to us for raising funds through recycling (cash for old rubbish!).  By using a selection of carefully selected recycling partners we maximise the value of each cartridge by sending each off the the most profitable partner. 

Imagine my surprise when I totalled up the value of the cartridges to be £105.85.  This is a very good way that we can raise funds for our group.  The payment for cartridges varies from 10p to £4.50 (yes for an empty cartridge!).

If you have some empty cartridges that you could donate to us for recycling, they can be left in the following places:
•Gilberdyke Newsagents collect on our behalf
•The collection box in the Scout Hut entrance hall
•or contact us and we can arrange to pick up a quantity. (peter@gilberdyke.net)

We are able to recycle Cannon, Dell, HP and Lexmark inkjet cartridges.  Unfortunately we are not able to recycle and Epson, Kodak and Brother cartridges.  If you have a different manufacturer’s cartridge which is not listed please let me know and I will determine if we can recycle it. 

Thanks for your support with our fundraising efforts.
