We have partnered with a company called Denner UK, to start a NO COST recycling programme to collect empty inkjet and toner cartridges, and we are asking you all to get involved by spreading the word to family and friends. Simply have a root around at home, or work, for any unwanted printer cartridges (empty or full!) and then bring them into school. We have a recycling box on site for you to pop them in, and each time that gets full we organise a FREE collection from Denner UK.
