What Your Empty Ink and Toner Cartridges Can Do for War Veterans

Posted by John C Arkin on March 3rd, 2013

Looking for ways to help military veterans in today’s cash-strapped times?

The answer lies in those empty printer cartridges gathering dust in your home.

Through the partnership of The Recycling Company and international charity The Gurkha Welfare Trust (GWT), printer users now have a unique opportunity to help war veterans in Nepal and UK improve their quality of life.

“We are proud to be working in partnership with the trust and look forward to helping make a real difference to the lives of Gurkha ex-servicemen and their dependants both in Nepal and the UK,” Donna Wingfield, business development manager at The Recycling Company, said in a news release. “The recycling scheme provides an easy and cost-free way for people to show their support.”

Consumers may request from The Recycling Company freepost envelopes to send their empty inkjet printer cartridges, toners, electronic gadgets and mobile phones. All freepost envelopes and collection boxes are supplied free of charge. The Gurkha Welfare Trust will receive a donation for every item that can be successfully recycled.
