Severy Elementary will continue to participate in the inkjet recycling program this year. This program is in conjunction with the Empties4Cash Company. Here is what the program is about:

• The empty inkjet cartridges that are usually thrown away as trash can be recycled and remanufactured.

• Bring those empty cartridges to school for the collection boxes.

• Severy Elementary gets paid up to $4 for each empty inkjet cartridge that has a print head, regardless of the brand or type.

• Severy Elementary needs OEM inkjet cartridges that have print heads from all of the following brands of printers: HP, Lexmark, Dell, Canon.

Epson print cartridges can be accepted, since the Epson cartridges are just ink tanks without a print head.

Those donating are asked to put the cartridge in the original box that you would have thrown away after it has been replaced to keep it safe from damages and spills, or a Ziploc bag.

Over $500 has already been raised for the school through inkjet donations.
