Bright Stars Children Centre - Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

What is it?
We are excited to announce a new environmental fundraising program that is good for our school and good for our community.

How does it work?
The Think Recycle Program is a community based collection program where our school can collect used inkjet cartridges, laser print cartridges, and cell phones and turn them in for cash rebates. Itʹs simple, just return your used inkjet or laser cartridges, and cell phones to our school. We will package and send them to Greentec who in turn will provide funds for each qualifying cell phone or used print cartridge returned.

How can I help?
Return your used print cartridges and cell phones to protect the environment, and help spread the word! Your business can help by saving your used cartridges and cell phones and having them returned to our school.

How does this help the environment?
Annually, over 300 million print cartridges are consumed in North America, and more than 500 million cell phones get retired in North America. That’s millions of pounds of electronic waste that usually ends up in landfill. The Think Recycle Program is good for the environment as you help divert used cartridges and cell phones from landfills. Plus, for every 24 qualifying cartridges or cell phones collected, Think Recycle sponsors the planting of one tree in partnership with Tree Canada or American Forests. Your support of the Think Recycle program will help teach the children the importance of recycling, the benefits of tree planting and help raise funds for our school.

Please donate your empty printer cartridges and old cell-phones by placing them in the collection box found inside St.John's Parish Hall beside our school door at 65 Cumberland Street. If this is inconvenient for you please contact us and we will gladly pick them up.

Thank you to the following businesses for supporting our school and caring about our environment. By giving us your used ink cartridges not only are you contributing to our fund-raising efforts but you are also helping to keep our environment clean.
