RUBBISH MATTERS TO A1 Positive Recycling Project!
They say one person’s rubbish is another person’s treasure - this is certainly true for A1 Positive Recycling Project who has just launched a new Recycling Appeal that will turn old mobile phones and used printer cartridges into much needed funds for the organisation.
Neil Wintrip of A1 Positive Recycling said: “Fundraisers traditionally call for donations of money, but not ours! Instead, we want items usually placed in the bin.
“With fancy new mobiles coming onto the market every month, people are replacing their handsets more than ever. The old ones usually end up binned, or are thrown in a cupboard or drawer, adding to the millions of redundant mobiles piling up across Europe.”
A1 Positive Recycling Project, which Promotes Positive Change Through Social Enterprise through Hands-on-Practical Environmental Skills, is running their fund-raising recycling campaign in partnership with experts at the Recycling Appeal, who will give the group around £5 for every mobile phone and around £1 for every printer cartridge collected.
Mr. Neil Wintrip of A1 Positive Recycling Project said: “Lots of offices bin their inkjet and toner cartridges too – why not donate them instead? You’ll be helping our valuable work, and you’ll be helping the environment at the same time.”
When mobiles and cartridges are binned they end up in landfill sites where they can cause pollution – as they slowly break down, chemicals can leak into the surrounding soil & leak into our drinking water supply. By recycling them, you protect the environment & save the Environment.
To participate in this eco-friendly fund-raiser, simply call to arrange a drop off your unwanted phones/cartridges by calling our Office 63A Summer Way, Exeter, Devon.
