Recycle 4 Kids
Looking for a unique and easy fundraiser? Try this one. Rather than throwing your old ink cartridges away, pop them in an envelope and send them to Recycle4Kids. Recycle4Kids supplies the envelope and postage, you supply the empty cartidges, and Tostan makes bank. Could it be any easier?
How to turn your trash into Tostan's treasure:
2. Choose "Recycle and RAISE MONEY", then fill out the online form with your information. Make proceeds payable to:
Tostan
1301 Clifton St NW, Suite 300
Washington, DC 20009
3. Watch your mail for a package from Recycle4Kids. Drop your used cartidges in the mail in the prepaid envelope. Recycle4Kids will clean and recycle your cartidges, then donate the proceeds to Tostan.
Bonus: If you are planning a large-scale recycling campaign, Recycle4Kids will supply marketing and collection materials. Why not set up a collection in your school or office?
