I was so glad to see a government office recycling. We offer the inkjet recycling programs and will provide you with collection boxes made of recycled paper. We also take everything. Not every inkjet has market value and will get you a return payment, but we take them all so your employees don't have to check a list and they get recycled if they can't be remanufactured. We also pay on nearly 50 remanufactured cartridges, which many places won't take. It's really hard to give you an estimate of what you'll make because I don't know what you're turning in. I do hope you'll evalute programs both on the return payment but also on the ability to turn in all inkjets. You don't really want the ones that don't pay going into the trash if you're running an environmental fundraiser. Also, most people don't realize that about 70% of what gets turned in can be remanufactured, which creates lower cost products for others.

You often get more per cartridge as opposed to using an online service, but usually only in form of a gift certificate from that store. You can also try <a href="http://www.fundingfactory.com/?affiliate_id=1983" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">FundingFactory</a> and check for their 'qualifying lists' and how much they'd pay for your cartridges.

We have been authorized to create it but we are in charge or the fundraising. We produce a lot of ink cartridge waste; I want to introduce to my boss this recycling idea, but I need to know how much are we going to make for our club if we do this. Can you help?

We placed several collection boxes at different spots at the school. We remind parents to bring in their empty cartridges in every newsletter and that seems to work. We've been making a few hundred a semester - anyone else have experience with this? We’ve tried this at my daughter’s elementary school and it was very easy to implement.
