/CNW/ - Staples Canada has opened online
registration for their Recycle For Education program, which recycles
used ink/toner cartridges, then donates funds back to participating
schools.
We want students to not have to worry about supplies - we realize
schools are on tight budgets and can use the help, says Steve Matyas,
president of Staples Canada. The Recycle For Education program is easy;
used cartridges can be dropped off into specially marked recycling bins
at any of the more than 320 stores in Canada.
Money is donated to elementary and high schools registered with the
program and any publicly funded elementary and secondary schools is
welcome to sign up.
To be eligible, schools are asked to register with the program at www.staples.ca/recycleforeducation,
between September 1 and December 31, 2010. Funds raised from the
previous year will be distributed in May 2011, in the form of a Staples
gift card, to participating schools.
