Cartridges for Kids Recycle for Cash Program

2007

The Computer Applications class at Joseph Kerr is recycling and would like your help. We are recycling empty laser, fax, copier, and inkjet cartridges as well as used cell phones, laptops, Palm Pilots, and iPods for two reasons. First, we are trying to preserve our environment by keeping these harmful items out of landfills, and secondly, to raise funds for our school computer program.

The recyclable items that are collected are returned to Cartridges for Kids® (CFK). Kerr Middle School is among more than 12,500 non-profit organizations nationwide that are helping the environment by recycling.

How can you help? You can turn your "trash into our treasure" and feel good about helping the environment all at the same time. Most people have used cell phones to dispose of and almost everyone uses cartridges, either at home or at work. They come from fax machines, copiers and printers. By donating these used items you can assist Kerr's computer program with earning much needed funds.

Community and business supporters can participate at no cost. CFK will send postage-paid pre-printed shipping labels to business supporters for the return of the used items. These items can also be dropped off at the following locations: Kerr front office and Room 75. You may also contact Susan Pack of CFK (916-275-0947) to pick up large loads of recyclables and credit Kerr directly.
