LCWR and many of its member congregations have been participating in an ink cartridge recycling program that helps protect the environment and conserve non-renewable resources.
LCWR works with a recycling company, Ink Jet Collect, an organization that rewards those who recycle by paying for each usable empty ink jet cartridge and for each usable empty laser cartridge. LCWR applies the earnings received to the scholarship fund that assists LCWR members who wish to attend the LCWR national assembly but cannot afford to do so.
LCWR congregations are invited to assist in building the scholarship fund by sending their cartridges directly to Ink Jet Collect and having their earnings applied directly to the scholarship fund. Congregations are encouraged to invite companies and other organizations to participate in this effort as well.
To participate in the program:
1. Contact:
Carol Glidden
LCWR Administrative Assistant
301-588-4955 or cglidden@lcwr.org
2. Provide a contact person and an address where labels can be sent.
Ink Jet Collect will send the labels to all participants after the contact with Carol is made. These labels are prepaid UPS labels and can be adhered to any box to be shipped directly to Ink Jet Collect at no cost to you. Once a shipment of cartridges is processed, LCWR will receive a check from Ink Jet Collect that will go to the scholarship fund.
