The Facts
Every year the United Kingdom uses:
• 48 million inkjet cartridges
• 7 million laser toner cartridges
Millions of these used printer, fax and copier cartridges can be recycled. They can be worth up to £7 each to Age Concern Norfolk.
• 15 million mobile phones are upgraded every year
They can be worth around £3 each to Age Concern Norfolk.
By recycling products you would normally throw away you can:
• reduce the damaging impact waste inflicts on the environment
• raise funds to improve the lives of older people
81% of people aged 50 plus use Age Concern services.
Without giving money you can visibly support Age Concern Norfolk by generating vital income to maintain the services we offer older people and at the same time help to protect the environment.
Whether you are an individual with one item to be recycled or an organisation that throws away used printer cartridges daily, Age Concern Norfolk - through our recycling partner - will provide you with all the materials needed to operate a recycling scheme and will collect recycling boxes for free or provide you with freepost envelopes.
Unfortunately Epson or compatible ink cartridges cannot be recycled and therefore should not be returned under this programme.
