Ink Cartridge Recycle Program Not Only Helps Our Environment but our Veterans & our Children!!!
Oregon PVA is pleased to announce a fundraising project that helps our many programs for our veterans as well as the environment. We are collecting empty inkjet cartridges to recycle. Each cartridge will earn OPVA two dollars. Over 1,000,000 cartridges are thrown away every day!! We could benefit from recycling some of those.
All cartridges are not recyclable. The program will accept cartridges with a print
head and many toner cartridges. This excludes all Epson cartridges and some Canon
cartridges. The current list of accepted cartridges is available at (Link will open into a new window:)

Remanufactured cartridges cannot be accepted because they are not durable and can't be recycled a
second time.
Please contact us at 1-800-333-0782 or fill out the request form below and we will send you free postage-paid bags to
return your inkjet cartridges. Thank you for your generosity in supporting our veterans & children. You are
helping us to help you.

We are now partnering with Cartridges for Kids in our fundraising efforts. The primary goal of their program is to
provide environmentally friendly fundraising that is safe, educational and pays cash to schools and organizations,
allowing them to fund projects that are a priority. By 2005, their goal is to pay over $10,000,000 for programs
that benefit our children!
Secondly, their aim is to provide service and support to those who want to recycle empty printer cartridges
and used cell phones. It is currently estimated that over 250 million pounds of empty cartridges are thrown
into our landfills annually and this figure continues to rise. Recent reports suggest that by 2005 there could
be as many as 500 million cell phones headed for our landfills. Together, with empty cartridges, this transforms
into about 200,000 tons of waste which is significantly reduced by recycling. Participation in CFK is beneficial
for both our organization and the environment.
