Windham Primary School is recycling for the sake of the planet, and the students need your help.

The school is recycling used cell phones, and empty laser, fax, copier, and inkjet cartridges, as well as laptops, Palm Pilots, iPods, video games, GPS Systems, DVDs and digital cameras for two reasons. First, students are trying to preserve the environment by keeping these harmful items out of landfills, and secondly, to raise funds for the school’s “Go Green for Technology” campaign.

The recyclable items that are collected are returned to Cartridges for KidsA?® (CFK). The Windham Primary School is among more than 12,500 non-profit organizations nationwide that are helping the environment by recycling.

How can you help? You can turn your “trash into our treasure” and feel good about helping the environment all at the same time. Most people have used cell phones to dispose of and almost everyone uses cartridges, either at home or at work. They come from fax machines, copiers and printers. By donating these used items you can assist Windham Primary with earning funds.

Community and business supporters can participate at no cost. CFK will send postage-paid pre-printed shipping labels to business supporters for the return of the used items. These items can also be dropped off at the Windham Primary School. You may also contact the person listed below to pick up your recyclables.
