PRINTER INK CARTRIDGE & CELL PHONES

Donations

The Highland Environmental Education is not for profit 501C3 and therefore depends on the wonderful contributions of the people from the community.
One great way to help is to donate your used cell phones, inkjet, toner, and laser cartridges to us. These funds aid in supporting a magnificient array of environmental literacy for the community.

If you work in a local business that uses inkjets, toner, and/or laser cartridges we will deliver a box with handprints of our preschoolers who enjoy monthly environmental story hours from these funds. Once the box is full then you can contact us to pick up the cartridges for you. Not only are you helping reduce toxic waste in our landfills but you are showing your support for environmental literacy in your community.

To thank you we will advertise your business as a supporter on our website www.h-e-e-c.org. If this interests you please contact Jessica Sutorus at (909) 425-4705 or email her at jsutorus@lib.sbcounty.gov.

If you would like to just drop off your personal used cell phones, inkjets, toner, or laser cartridges we always have a collection box at the entrance of the Highland Library and Environmental Learning Center located at 7863 Central Ave., Highland CA 92346.
For directions go to our Contact page on our website for more information.
