Recycling Helps Generate Funds for Schools

(NC)—Empty ink and toner cartridges usually end up in the garbage and then in landfills. Your empty ink or toner cartridge can be properly recycled and used to generate money for local schools; while helping to preserve the environment. Simply drop off your empty ink or toner cartridges in the designated recycling bin at any StaplesBusiness Depot location across Canada. With every eligible cartridge collected, the company donates one dollar to benefit schools in your community if they register to participate in the program.

Along with promoting environmentally friendly behaviour and setting an excellent example for your children, your contribution over the past 12 months to the Recycle for Education program helped generate over $250,000, to be distributed among Canadian schools this September.

You can encourage your school to sign up by visiting www.recyclefored.ca. The first 500 schools registered for the 2006/2007 will receive a share of funds collected throughout the upcoming school year to be distributed in September 2007.
