We collect selected items for recycle and hope to gradually increase the numbers. Can you help? We collect
· Old cell phones which are reprogrammed for outgoing emergency numbers only. These are given to those in need. If you know of anyone who may be in need then talk to Todd Clark who has the information
· Manufacturer’s coupons which are given to the military.
· Empty inkjet print cartridges. Please wrap in paper or put in the original box when you replace with a new cartridge. We receive money for these cartridges which we use for our Outreach projects.
You will find collection boxes for these items in the Russell Hall. For more information speak with Gill Keyworth (281-493-3161).
