Ink Cartridge Recycling Program at BRES

I wanted to remind you that we run an ink cartridge recycling program in the Elementary Library. We use Funding Factory http://www.fundingfactory.com/ . We collect both inkjet and laser jet cartridges. The cartidges can be from school, home, or even from the business or office where a member of your family works. We also accept cartridges from students and teachers in the middle and high school. Companies interested in demonstrating a commitment to education and the environment can participate free of charge in the FundingFactory Business Support Program. FundingFactory will send each supporting business FREE prepaid shipping labels for the return of collected cartridges and cell phones. By donating to Blue Ridge School District, businesses help them earn the technology they need. Community and business supporters can also drop off cartridges and cell phones at the following locations: Blue Ridge Elementary Library To learn more about supporting Blue Ridge School District, please call Janelle Tench at 570-465-3141 ext. 506 or tenchj@brsd.org.
