Recycle your workplace ink cartridges and help raise funds

This month Wise Fundraising Ltd was delighted to present St Mary’s Hospice with a cheque for £152. The money was raised by Fingerprints, a printing company in Barrow-in-Furness, who have been recycling their used printer cartridges.

St Mary’s and Wise Fundraising Ltd have been working together to generate funds for the benefit of our community in South Cumbria. A forerunner in corporate fundraising for charities, Wise Fundraising Ltd supply and recycle ink jet cartridges and toners and kindly provide St Mary’s with funding from each new sale and from the value of returned empty cartridges and toners.

We hope that the funds we receive from Wise Fundraising Ltd could be greatly increased if more local businesses donate their empty inkjet cartridges and laser toners. 20% of the value of the cartridges will be donated to St Mary’s. All cartridge and toner types are accepted. Wise Recycling can collect large toners directly from your workplace free of charge and can provide you with the weight for recycling stats. Prepaid bags and collecting boxes can also be provided for smaller inkjet cartridges. As the postage is inclusive, returning your used items costs only a little time and, as many are suitable for re-filling or re-manufacture, you will be helping the environment.

You can also help to raise further funds for St Mary’s by ordering your cartridges and toners with Wise Fundraising Ltd online. Simply visit www.stmaryshospice.is-recycling.co.uk
Princes are very competitive on a large range and include VAT and postage. 10% of the value of orders will be donated to St Mary’s.

As ink cartridges and toners are a commodity which most of us use in conjunction with our computers, this method of raising funds for St Mary's is simple yet effective. We hope that you will use this innovative opportunity to help raise much needed funds for us and help the environment.
