Dubuque Elementary & Junior High School Recycles
Our
school is participating in the FundingFactory recycling fundraiser. We
collect empty laser and inkjet cartridges and used cell phones and
recycle them for points we redeem for technology or sports equipment
or even cash.
Not all cartridges and cell phones are acceptable for
the program. Previously remanufactured cartridges or cartridges that have
been refilled are not acceptable. Complete lists of acceptable
cartridges and cell phones are available at http://www.FundingFactory.com
We send the empty cartridges and used cell phones to
FundingFactory. FundingFactory helps schools and non-profit
organizations with fundraising by paying points or cash for the recycled
items. We check our points online, and can redeem the points for
things like printers or digital cameras or computers.
WANTED: Business
supporters! Businesses can help us out by recycling their own
empty cartridges and used cell phones and designating our school as the
beneficiary of the points. It is easy and it is FREE!
FundingFactory will provide free shipping boxes with prepaid
shippers. Businesses can be local or remote. For more about
becoming a business partner, click

For more information, e-mail us at edschool@yahoo.com
and put the word "recycle" in the subject line.
We need your help!

Last year more than 300 million
cartridges were thrown away and 30 million cell phones were replaced. We
are reducing the amount or waste that goes to landfills while collecting
points to replace technology equipment at our school.
