Recycling fundraiser

Boy Scout Troop 85 is conducting a recycling fundraiser. There’s nothing to buy. We are simply asking you to protect the environment by donating your used consumer electronics. Your used item(s) may be tax deductible and will be recycled in accordance with EPA regulations. 100% of the proceeds will help to bring down the cost of many of the events and activities our scouts will participate in throughout the year. Some of these events include various camp outs, hikes, fishing derbies, tours and sporting events which provide an exciting and rewarding experience for each scout.
What items are being collected? For every used inkjet, toner/laser cartridge, iPod, digital camera, GPS unit, laptop and cell phone that is collected and sent in to them, Global Re-Source Funding will send a donation to Troop 85 for the full buyback value on their price lists—working or not! These are items that over 80% of us don’t know where to recycle, but know they shouldn’t be thrown away.
Please go to www.GlobalRe-SourceFunding.com for all the details and to enroll. For donations to go directly to us on behalf of your office or company, simply indicate Boy Scout Troop 85/#C7034 in the reimbursement section. GRF provides all the supplies you need to make this a successful donation opportunity, including free postage, free shipping boxes and flyers/posters to help spread the word about your initiative. Global Re-Source Funding will then send us a check with paperwork indicating that the donation came from you or your business so we know who to thank!
Here are some of the reasons why Troop 85 chose the Global Re-Source Electronics Recycling Fundraiser:
v It sets the right example! Rather than selling something people often do not need or want, this fundraiser provides an environmentally conscious community service, i.e. cell phone, ink jet, laptop computer, iPod, GPS, and other electronics recycling. This sort of fundraising supports the environmental stewardship and community service we desire for our scouts.
v It is simple! Donate your used cell phone(s), ink jet printer cartridge(s), laptops, GPS, iPods, and digital cameras directly to Global Re-Source and indicate the proceeds should go to our troop.
v There's nothing to buy! Instead of making a monetary contribution, you actually save money! That's right. You can print a tax-deductible receipt for donating / recycling your used cell phone(s), ink jet(s), laptops, GPS iPods, and digital cameras to our troop fundraiser.
v It is good for the environment! Estimates indicate there are more than 150 million retired cell phones gathering dust in the United States, with 100 million more added each year. Today only about 5% of these are being properly recycled. Chances are you have one gathering dust in your home. In addition, approximately 300 million cartridges are thrown away each year! The production of a single ink jet cartridge requires 2 and 1/2 ounces of oil. That's more than 6 million gallons of oil wasted each year.
Thank you for your support!
