WANTED - inkjet toners and cartridges for urgent recycling - and to earn money for charity!
Age Concern urgently need complete toner and inkjet cartridges, together with all packaging and boxes, from the following makers - Apple, Brother, Canon, Dell, HP, IBM, Lexmark, Oki, Olivetti, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp and Xerox.
Austin Chater, a volunteer at the Age Concern charity shop in Market Rasen, has come up with the money making scheme.
"Thirty million cartridges are thrown away every year and end up in landfill sites," he said.
"There is no company in Europe making these so if we recycle them, not only do we raise money for Age Concern but also save money for Europe and prevent many being dumped in landfill sites."
At the moment they can only take branded products but hope to find someone who will accept compatible brands in the future.
