Our Trash is Worth CashPublished 25th Jan 2012
Our office trash can be worth thousands of pounds to the British Institute of Learning Disabilities. Office materials that normally end up in the bin - toner and inkjet printer cartridges, and old mobile phones - can be recycled to raise valuable funds for the British Institute of Learning Disabilities. If you're guilty of throwing away used printer cartridges and other recyclable office materials, read on! Just ONE has teamed up with leading recyclers at the Recycling Appeal in an environmentally friendly fundraising scheme. Every time we donate a cartridge or old mobile phone to the British Institute of Learning Disabilities Recycling Appeal, the British Institute of Learning Disabilities will earn cash. Greg Price, Business Development Manager, says: "Just ONE's Recycling Appeal is an easy way to help the environment while supporting a great cause. Our organisation is currently working to raise funds for the British Institute of Learning Disabilities, we are confident our Recycling Appeal will be a great success." Not only will our participation in the British Institute of Learning Disabilities Recycling Appeal raise the organisation much needed funds, recycling allows you to make a positive impact on the environment. Rob Morton of the Recycling Appeal says: "Throwing away old mobile phones and used printer cartridges sends them to landfill sites where they become part of our nation's growing waste problem. The vast majority of mobile phones contain toxic substances, which can leak into the surrounding soil and pollute it, and printer cartridges take hundreds of years to biodegrade. Some of the mobile phones even end up in developing countries where little or no landline infrastructure exists meaning your old mobile could provide a lifeline for someone." |
