Yes, literally, your trash. Those Ink Jet cartridges that you toss into the garbage from your home & office printers. You use them and so do your neighbors, schools, employers, etc. Here in my office of 16 people, we have a dozen of these printers on our desks. Only restriction - no LexMark brand as this manufacturer does not re-manufacture theirs. Black or color cartridges, I can get them to a recycler and receive $2.25 each for them. All you need to do is slip each one into a baggie so they don't leak and mail them to me via the method of your choice - I would recommend a few at a time as opposed to singles, just to save on shipping costs. I'll package them according to the recycler's requirements, take them in and have the check cut directly to Jean. I can do the same with Laser Toner Cartridges and they bring between $3.00 and $8.00 each. The higher price is paid for the large color toner cartridges. If you send these, they should be wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent toner from getting out and then boxed. This does NOT include dry ink cartridges like you'd use in a copy machine - these are not a part of the program. If you consider that you can place a collection box in your office or office building, a collection box in your apartment building - Got kids in a dorm at college? - they all have these printers - have your spouse, friends, kids & neighbors do the same - this can add up for a worthy cause. When we get to the point where this cause is no longer in need - I will notify the list and change the beneficiary to the SOS. Please call or e-mail me with any questions. I am listing my address below for shipping/mailing cartridges. Jerri Carel, 4132 Morgan Jaymes Drive, Louisville, KY 40299 (502) 261-0880 H, (502) 439-0923 Cell [Posted in FML issue 4391]
