USED Ink Cartridge Collection

Posted on April 27, 2022 by Groton

We are supporting GRASSO TECHNICAL SCHOOL in their Ink Cartridge Collection.

The Ella T. Grasso Technical High School Parent Faculty Organization (PFO) is running a continual collection of used ink cartridges. Help Grasso Tech’ s PFO by recycling your used printer cartridges. A chance to recycle and keep these non-biodegradable items from the landfill while earning money for the PFO at the same time. It’s a Win, Win!

They need our empty HP, Xerox, Lexmark, Sharp, Canon, Panasonic, IBM, Brother, Ricoh, NEC, Toshiba, Dell, Samsung, and other major brand empty printer cartridges. This is an ongoing collection.
THANK YOU for helping us help them!!

Please bring to our THrive55+ TECH CENTER Monday, Tuesday or Thursday mornings.
