Just wanted to bump this up... Since start of the year we have raised nearly 50 quid... lots of mobiles pls keep them coming..
To sign up pls go to the website link on the homepage of our website... which is www.canterbury.cats.org.uk
I am not sure how many people are sending in your old inkjets or mobiles but its much appreciated. The money goes to help buy a few more traps and chip scanners..I am not sure of the total from day one but it must be over 150 quid now.. which is great.. Thank sall

BTW if anyone has a company that they dont currently recyle their inkjets pls get in touch as we can sort out a bin for you if you wanted one..

I've got 1 empty cartridge so far but the envelope says not to send just one.  :innocent: So next time we have to change one, I'll send the pair off.  :)

OMG thats great news Christine!! I see someone has send us a mobile and it fetched 8 quid which isnt bad... This fundraising is great as its easy for any one to help us.. and it helps the waste mountain as well as it reduces waste.. I am very pleased that people are supporting us and we have a few vets on board now as well...
Kirst Mark is right the company will send you the bags direct and keep sending them to you as soon as you fill one if you request it..

Thanks everybody for helping!

Hi Kirst,

Sharon doesn't have the bags - there is a link on our news page http://www.canterbury.cats.org.uk/index.asp?m=showNews&newsID=1533

The heading is "Help the environment and help us" - it links to the recycling company who will send you the bags direct.

Unfortunately at Bradford College we now have posh machines that print, copy, scan, fax and email so we don't have our desk top printers anymore - However I've been saving mine at home for when someone asked for them and I have about 6 so I'd love a bag - can I PM you my address Sharon?

Can't do it for work as it's all laser printers but have a few cartridges at home that I can send off - will request a bag from the site to send them off.

I meant to say Sharon, I requested the newsletter via email but it still got sent out to my old address (my mail is re-directed).  Can you change my membership so you don't waste the money on postage  :thanks:

Hi Peeps
One of our great volunteers has started this up. Anyone can request a bag or a bin and we get £1 for every inkjet send back with our code on which is CS5946.. It doesnt cost you anything as the envelopes are free post... If anyone has a business or big company then we would love to get them involved and you may wish to ask for a bin.. They also recycle laser drums as well and mobiles i think...

I realise that HQ do something similar but this way all the profit comes direct to us.. so i can tell you how we are doing.. So have a look at the following link..
Ta in advance
Canterbury and District CP



www.recycle4charity.co.uk/intelsignup.aspx?supporterid=C5946

PS any Purrs members who are members of our branch will get a bag for recycling in the next newsletter..
