We use a company called Recycle Rewards (www.rrewards.com
). They have great customer support and this allows us to raise funds year round. They also have a policy of payment within 30 days so you get quick turnaround. They provide collection bins, mailing boxes and prepaid UPS labels. I highly recommend them, its the easist fundraising we have ever done. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the ideas. We tried recycling through Staples this year and it was a total bomb!!! I'm so disappointed.
I've mailed several boxes of cartridges to them and have yet to see any money in return. I've called them and their response was.."we had more participation than we expected and we are behind" How exactly is this MY problem? Anyways, I've kinda lost hope in seeing anything back from them and I'm eager to find a new one that will be profitable for us. Thanks!!
I just found out that you can contact your local staples or kinko's they donate packages of paper in return for your cartridges. If you use alot of paper that is the way to go. Also we have saved them all year and in april make a decision on which way is our better way to go. But you need to be able to have some where to store them.
I am not sure how widely spread this company is but Print Again Inkjets(I know there is one based in Lexington,KY) will come and pick up your cartridges and pay you on the spot. The cooridinator at the elementary my son attends swtiched to this company because it was "more local." I figure the profit is about the same as Kash For Kids (the company she used to use).
We've used both Funding Factory & KashforKids.
Both have been very reputable; however, on average KashforKids pays more money for inkjets, lasers, & cell phones. However, Funding Factory does accept Epson (.20 each) if you get a lot of those.
