Recycle Printer Cartridges, Used Cell Phones, Laptops & PDAs

As you may know, the South Pacific County Humane Society is funded entirely by private donations, so we are always looking for new ways to raise money for our animals. One of our newer projects is a collaboration with Cartridges for Kids, an organization that recycles empty inkjet and laser cartridges, used cell phones, laptops, and PDAs (Palm Pilots). The money that comes in to the Shelter is of course greatly appreciated and much needed; an extra benefit is doing something constructive for the environment by preventing these items and their often-toxic components from reaching landfills.

We would like to encourage individuals as well as businesses to collect these recyclables. There are several ways of getting the recyclables to us. You may bring them directly to the Shelter at 330 2nd St. NE in Long Beach. Or you may drop them off on the patio at Shakti Cove Cottages at 253rd and Park Avenue in Ocean Park. If you would like to claim your contributions as a tax deduction, please be sure your name and address are clearly visible so we can get you a receipt.
