Toner Cartridges & Cell Phones:
Soldiers For Soldiers Recycling Program
20 year-old Fallen O'Brien of the United States Air Force began doing some
research on various fundraising programs and came across a company that buys
used cell phones along with empty toner and inkjet printer cartridges
and paid her $1.00 for every inkjet cartridge and $3.00 for every used cell
phone collected, also they paid the shipping costs. Airman O'Brien along
with The American Legion has started the Soldiers for Soldiers collection
campaign to raise funds for The
American Legion.
Legion Post 221, at 427 Lincoln Way E in Massillon, is the local
collection point for the printer cartridges and used cell phones. For more
information on the program, call (330) 833-4545 or visit http://www.soldiers4soldiers.com/index.html.

Recycle to Fight Breast Cancer and Protect the Environment!
Every year, hundreds of millions of cell phones, toner and inkjet cartridges
are thrown into our nation's landfills. In addition to putting toxic
chemicals into our earth, these phones and cartridges take up valuable space and
waste priceless resources. The goal of this recycling program is to prevent
these items from entering our landfill. The items are collected, recycled
and all profits from the recycling efforts go to support the fight against
breast cancer. As a participant in this program, you collect these items, box
and prepare them for shipping and you will receive a prepaid shipping
label. There is no cost to you for shipping. For more information on
what you can recycle and how to go about doing it, check out the Recycle
for Breast Cancer website.
