From The Friends of the Swampscott Public Library in Swampscott:
"The Swampscott Public Library will begin collecting used inkjet, laser printer cartridges and cell phones. Each year more than 350 million inkjet and laser cartridges are thrown away. In addition, 35 million cell phones are discarded. The library will collects these items and send them to the Funding Factory, an organization that provides equipment to nonprofit organizations in exchange for recycled materials. For each donation, Swampscott will receive points that can be traded in for printers, monitors, and other technology.
Donating these materials will help keep the earth clean and earn equipment and supplies for the Library. Look for the recycling box in the lobby. Thank you for supporting this green project."
