Printer Cartridge Recycling Programs

Category: Recycling

Initiative Objective:

Initiative Objective

Municipal recycling programs in Stamford and Redding to collect empty cartridges, thereby keeping them out of landfills.  Fund Raising Programs are also in place at several elementary schools, including Springdale (Stamford) Rogers School (Stamford) and Barlow Mountain (Ridgefield) to collect cartridges and donate money back to the schools for empties. Over 350 million empty cartridges are discarded in North American landfills each year and that number continues to increase.  Cartridge World (system-wide) keeps about 7 million empty cartridges out of the garbage each year!  We are looking to expand our recycling and fundraising programs throughout Fairfield County!
