[TNS-list] Recycling Fundraiser

[kittylemeu]

In case you haven't noticed, we are doing a recycling fundraiser this
month!  Why?

* Because we want to protect our environment and it turns out we can
make money for the school doing so.

- For every cell phone we collect 158,000 gallons of water will be
protected from potential toxic contamination? That’s 1.2 million
12-ounce sodas for every phone! Moreover, 2 and 1⁄2 ounces of oil are
used to make a single inkjet cartridge.

What can we accept? Cellphones, iPads and tablets, smart watches,
inkjet cartridges and gold/silver/platinum jewelry.

* Working phones are phones that include their original battery, power
up, possess an undamaged LCD screen, make a test call and are not
cracked or otherwise damaged.


*Non-working phone models will be credited 20% of the corresponding
working phone price.


*Working ink jet cartridges are ink jet cartridges that have the print
head, tabs and case in tact, have not been refilled (or punctured) and
are not reconditioned or otherwise damaged. EcoPhones does not pay for
damaged, reconditioned or refilled cartridges.

*******A Note About Toner*****

EcoPhones ONLY accepts small ink jet cartridges. We DO NOT accept
toner. If the cartridge is larger than the palm of your hand it is not
an ink jet cartridge. Toner is costly to ship, and can easily leak and
contaminate an entire shipment. If you have toner to recycle, please
do so locally.

Gold, Silver and Platinum Jewelry
EcoPhones currently accepts and pays for gold, silver and platinum
jewelry of all types. Jewelry does not need to be undamaged for
payment as all payments are based purely on the metal type, purity and
weight. Please note: We do not accept costume jewelry including
watches, plastic or beaded jewelry, etc. and we will not return ship
any items regardless of the situation.


Please bring your items to the cardboard box on the desk in the PTA
room.  Email me if you would rather hand your item to me.


Thank you!
