RECYCLING PROGRAM
Genoa Area Local Schools is
involved in a recycling program to help save the environment.
Students/members of Genoa Area Local Schools have been recycling empty printer cartridges
and used cell phones in an effort to keep these items out of landfills. As a
reward for their efforts the participants in the FundingFactory Recycling
Program are earning free technology.
The cartridges and cell phones collected by Genoa Area Local Schools are
sent to FundingFactory where the cartridges are inspected and then sold to
reputable recycling companies to be remanufactured. These cartridges are later
sold to secondary markets, including retailers and office-supply stores.
Cell phones that enter the FundingFactory warehouse are either donated
to nonprofit markets such as women’s shelters, sold to refurbishers who sell
them back into the domestic market, or sold to foreign markets.
Genoa Area Local Schools is
among more than 24,000 organizations nationwide that are helping the
environment by collecting empty laser and inkjet cartridges and used cell
phones from the community and sending the waste products to FundingFactory.
They are putting a dent in the more than 300 million cartridges 30 million cell
phones that are thrown away each year.
Companies interested in demonstrating a commitment to the environment
can participate free of charge in the FundingFactory Business Support Program.
FundingFactory will send each supporting business free, postage-paid shipping
boxes for the return of collected cartridges and cell phones. By donating to Genoa Area Local Schools,
businesses help them earn the technology
that they
need. Plus they will be helping the environment by keeping those waste products
out of landfills.
Community and business supporters can also drop off cartridges and cell
phones at the following locations: Genoa Area High School Library.
