Inkjet Cartridges         Back to Top

Empties4Cash is our newest fundraiser. When it's time to replace the inkjet cartridge (cartridge sizes that fit in your hand) from your computer's printer DON'T throw it away. The Associates are recycling for cash. If each of us would ask the members of our family, our friends and co-workers to bring us their empty inkjet printer cartridges when they put in a new one, we can recycle them for $2 each. Here's what we have to do.

The company has begun a new system where each of you could easily place 3 to 5 inkjets in your very own personal easy to seal baggy and drop it in the mail.  The baggy has the companies address, our account number, and the instructions on how to use the baggy printed on it.  It costs us nothing because it is prepaid postage.

There is no more saving up your inkjets to bring them to the meeting to give to me.  You can easily do this yourself at home.  No waiting!  Everything about it is a Win Win! 

The company accepts cartridges that have “print heads” from the following brands:  Apple, Canon, Compaq, Dell, HP, Lexmark, and Sharp.  They do not accept Epson, and Canon BCI series.  We are currently seeing if any other recyclable inkjet companies would accept the Epson’s or Canon BCI series.

If your chapter would please let me know if you’d like the baggies or need more baggies I will be glad to see that you receive them as soon as possible. 

The last check we received from the inkjets was $182.90! 

Thank you for helping with this project!

Recycle Your Old Cell Phones!            Back to Top

Recycle it and you'll help Mother Nature and those in need of emergency communication. We are collecting used cell phones for the benefit of Rochester College who will receive a monetary donation for each phone received. Cell phones contain many toxins and are very hazardous to our environment and they should not end up in landfills. All cell phones, regardless of age or working condition, are accepted. Make certain to deactivate your phone as well, prior to donation, by contacting your service provider.

This program not only greatly benefits Rochester College, but assists in providing 911 (emergency only) services to battered adults, children and senior citizens as many donated phones are distributed for these purposes. Please begin collecting cell phones from family and friends and bring them to the September General Meeting.

Cell phone chairman, Carol McCartney
