Cell phone and printer cartridge recycling program

With cell phone technology changing so fast many of us have an old phone or two stuck in a drawer because we didn’t know what to do with it. Here is your solution: Chipeta and Trailblazer Elementary Schools participate in programs which take cell phones for recycling. The recycling program gives these phones to battered women’s facilities.

The schools also take printer cartridges of all kinds. Money is given directly to the schools for the cartridges. If you have cartridges from your personal printer or those at your work, you can drop them off at either school along with the cell phones. It can also be arranged to put a recycling bin at your place of work. Contact your school of choice for more information.

Recycling to Assist Our Schools

Check your Campbell's soup labels and General Mills' cereal box tops before you throw them in the trash, they may have a label that can be converted to cash for our schools. At ten cents apiece, this community could be veritable fortune over a period of a few years. Our schools receive CASH (to a maximum of $20,000 per year for these items. Even if you don't have children attending school in Mountain Shadows, you know that property values are lined to the quality of the neighborhood schools. This recycling is an opportunity for residents to help our schools to be their best and very little effort is involved. Save your labels over the summer months for the fall delivery to the community school of your choice. Imagine what could be done if everyone contributed their box tops and labels. Tell your fiends and neighbors. You can read about this programs at: http:// boxtops4education.com/how/clip/asp
