Cell Phones, Inkjet Printer and Toner Cartridges
Recycling
REAL provides a ThinkRecycle drop box at the REAL Deal Store for the collection of used cell phones, inkjet printer cartridges and toner cartridges. Using this service ensures these items are recycled responsibly.
Materials collected are directed to Lombardy Public School, who submits them to ThinkRecycle along with what they have collected as a fundraiser. They earn a set amount for specific makes of phones or cartridges.
We encourage you to support the many local charitable organizations collecting these materials to raise funds.
Reusing Print Cartridges
Please note that many ink jet, laser and toner cartridges can be refilled, which will conserve resources, redirect waste from landfill, and save you money. Before you buy a new printer, make sure that the ink cartridge can be refilled.
