Recycle for Martha Trust
Martha Trust has partnered
up with a leading recycling company to recycle your unwanted
items and help to raise funds for
the Trust in the process. |

Mobile phones and used inkjet and
toner cartridges
Martha Trust is asking businesses, schools, groups and individuals to help raise funds by recycling old mobile phones, used
inkjet cartridges and toner
cartridges. Old Mobile phones are worth
up to £65,
inkjet cartridges can be worth as
much as £3 each, and toner
cartridges can be worth up to £8
each. |
|
| Recycling is easy; once registered, organisations receive collection boxes suitable for mobiles and cartridges. These boxes are collected free, and the value of the equipment is donated directly to Martha Trust. To register
your company or school, please
download the PDF (22kb) and register direct with Office Green Technologies or
alternatively please
email us or call 01304 610448. |

Individuals can also donate their mobile phones and the small inkjet cartridges using a freepost address. Wrap phones with tissue to protect them, and wrap inkjets with plastic to protect other post from leaking ink and seal in a strong envelope then send to: The Martha Trust, Freepost LON11452, Barking, IG11 0TW. |

| Emily Shepherd, Operations and Development Manager at Martha Trust, commented “This recycling scheme is fantastic, as it benefits our residents at Martha Trust and helps the environment.” |
