 YOUR TRASH IS WORTH CASH

 

Your office trash can be worth thousands of pounds to Moor House School. Office materials that normally end up in the bin - toner and printer cartridges, and old mobile phones - can be recycled to raise valuable cash for us.  So if you are guilty of throwing away old inkjet cartridges and other recyclable office materials, read on!

 

Moor House School has signed up to the leading recycling programme 'Recycool', a scheme that will help boost school funds and divert products from landfill.  Every time you donate a cartridge or old mobile phone to us for the Recycool programme, the school will receive a cash donation.

 

Daniel Crowe of Recycool says:

 

Throwing an old mobile phone away is not a good idea to say the least. Mobiles contain cadmium, a dangerous and highly toxic substance.  Once dumped in landfill sites, the phone casing corrodes and the cadmium leeches out into the soil.  So it's not a very environmentally friendly move to dump your old mobile.  But that's not the only reason you should not throw your phone away.

 

Another reason for recycling your phone is that it can help developing countries.  Many developing nations do not have a comprehensive landline infrastructure.  As a result, mobile phones may be the only way of communicating over a distance.  We send old mobiles to these countries, thereby helping improve communication.

 

So put your old mobile phones, inkjet and toner printer cartridges to one side. (Please note: Recycool does not accept Epson inkjet cartridges).  Free collection can be arranged from anywhere in the UK.  To find out how to get yours collected free, call Recycool direct on 08451 30 20 50 or visit www.recycool.org 

 You will be helping the environment and helping our fundraising. What's more, it won't cost you a penny.
