St Thomas Lutheran School is now collecting empty inkjet cartridges for recycling. We receive up to $3.00 for each cartridge recycled. Cartridges can he deposited in our collection bin located in the school lobby. Simply place your old cartridge in a plastic sandwich hag and deposit it in our collection bin. Most businesses simply throw their empty cartridges in the garbage so check at work to see if they would donate their would be garbage. The acceptable cartridges are listed below. No large laser cartridges are accepted with this program and will not fit through the holes on our collection box.

In addition to raising money for St Thomas, recycling inkjet cartridges has a positive impact on the environment. Consider the following: Nearly 1 million inkjets are thrown into our landfills every day. Less than 5% of the cartridges produced are recycled. It takes 1000 years for the plastic to decompose.
