Lighthouse For the Blind of the Palm Beaches

Ink and Cell Phone Recycling Fundraiser

The Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches is collecting empty printer cartridges and used cell phones as an ongoing fundraiser. Through the Funding Factory Recycling Program, we can earn new technology, and money for programs and services just by recycling printer cartridges and cell phones.

We realize that many office supply stores and other businesses are giving a discount or coupon in exchange for the cartridges and cell phones. Please consider sending your used cartridges and cell phones to the Lighthouse instead of using them to receive this discount. The rewards for the Lighthouse are very much appreciated and will help to support ongoing, as well as new programs and services.

Again, we encourage you to save the cartridges from your home printer and send those along with your used cell phones to the Lighthouse. If you work for a business that is using laser or inkjet printer cartridges or cell phones, please inquire as to what is done with those items once they are used.

To find out more about our cartridge and cell phone collection, please contact the Lighthouse at 561-586-5600.  

The Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches greatly appreciates your support of this program.
