On September 8th, 2008 Cartridges Unlimited presented a check to the Quincy High School Class of 2010 in the amount of 247.00 dollars. Another check will be donated later this month to bring their total funds raised to 399.00 dollars. “Their (Quincy Schools) efforts in colleting empty inkjet cartridges then recycling them through Cartridges Unlimited has brought them a good amount of funds” Says Eric Cozart, VP of Operations. “Anything we can do help schools in a time of shrinking state funds makes us proud as a company” He added.

Cartridges Unlimited a new local company in conjunction with Quincy Community Schools began a fundraiser on Earth Day! Collection bins have been placed in each building of the Quincy school system to collect empty inkjet and laser cartridges.

Cartridges Unlimited is new to the area and so is the idea of school’s raising money by collecting empty cartridges. The goal is to raise as much money as possible for the schools, while diverting cartridges from landfills. Cartridges Unlimited recycles the cartridges collected and then resells them at a discounted rate.

Quincy Schools became “GREEN” certified on Earth Day 2008, and among the 25 requirements to becoming a GREEN school, is having a company that collects and pays the school for empty inkjet and laser cartridges. Cartridges Unlimited is now the local source for this in Branch County. “Our mission is to be as community involved as possible, helping schools become green, while helping the environment by recycling our products”. Says Eric Cozart VP Operations for Cartridges Unlimited LLC.
