The Pember Library and Museum is starting a print cartridge, cell phone, iPod, digital camera, GPS device and laptop recycling program. This program is free and convenient for our organization and will generate CASH to be spent on items that we need. It’s an alternative to the traditional fundraisers because there is no buying or selling – only collecting what would normally be thrown away.
A collection container, clearly marked and accessible during normal operating hours, will be placed at the Pember. You can drop off your recyclables whenever it’s convenient for you.
Did you know that every second nine ink cartridges are thrown away? Help us turn this waste into CASH!
Please donate your cell phones, iPods, digital cameras, GPS devices, laptops* and cartridges by placing them in the collection bins found at the Pember.
Not only is this an easy way to raise funds for our organization, but it also teaches valuable lessons about the variety of materials that can be recycled and promotes environmental stewardship.
*Laptops should be able to power up or have their charge cords.
