Our collection and recycling scheme costs you nothing, and you could earn hundreds of pounds to buy additional computers, equipment and replacement ink cartridges for your school.
Just think how many ink cartridges your school's IT department uses - then consider how many more cartridges you can collect if you encourage pupils and parents to donate used cartridges from home, friends and work.
Recycling your school's old printer ink cartridges and mobile phones not only makes you money, it also sets a good example to your pupils and taking responsibility for protecting our environment. By involving every member of your school, you can teach children the importance of recycling and show them how easy and even profitable it can be! We also pay high prices for unused/surplus items such as inkjet, laserjet cartridges, drum units, fuser units and transfer belts.
Ideas to promote the recycling scheme through your school:
EmptyCartridge Recycling Ltd can provide you with a free page on our website that any organisation / individual can go to and start recycling their items on behalf of your school. To see an example of one of these pages go to www.emptycartridge.co.uk/chase.asp
To promote raising funds through our scheme we can provide you with freepost bags. These can be given out to parents/organisations/individuals who want to support your school. The bags are provided free of charge and are for inkjet cartridges and mobile phones. Schools often find that including these in a newsletter an effective way of fund raising. The bag can have your logo printed on (this will need to be provided to us) and has a unique barcode (your account number) this allows us to insure the funds go to your charity.
Posters are avaliable on request to promote our scheme and your school.
COMING SOON! A banner can be downloaded and put onto your website as a link to our scheme and show how organisations can donate.
Once the account is activated and you login you will then have access to the cartridge price list.
For more information on how your school can benefit or to arrange a collection, please contact us.
Payment for cartridges:
Upon receipt of your empty cartridges / mobile phones, our warehouse staff will process the goods (each cartridge is individually inspected to determine whether or not the cartridge will print once recycled) and a report will be raised for the total amount of acceptable empty cartridges/phones you have returned. Payment will be made once you accrue a balance of £30. You will normally receive payment approx 21 to 30 days of us receiving your empty cartridges.
Once you have registered you can view your account and breakdowns of the items received with monetary values by logging in to www.emptycartridge.co.uk/orders
Please note that we do not just visually inspect inkjet cartridges, we are one of the only companies that uses a ST200 shop tester. This enables us to give you a true evaluation as to whether your cartridge is working or non-working. Most companies only visually inspect, if this is the case your cartridge may be seen to be faulty and classed as a reject when it is actually electrically sound.
