Think Recycle is a laser cartridge, ink jet cartridge and cell phone recycling program used by charitable organizations all over North America to raise funds for their charities.

Since we registered we have limited ourselves to word of mouth and the program has proven successful. We are ready to branch out and earn even more money. So come aboard and join our campaign to help support the SLF’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign and to help our environment by diverting waste from our landfills. Think Recycle is a fundraising program that achieves both of these goals. It pays the Stephen Lewis Foundation for empty ink and toner cartridges and old cell phones while helping the environment.

 

Check out the Program Guide from the Think Recycle website which explains most of the program and also includes Frequently Asked Questions and Answers.

 

All this at no cost to us! And it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3. The Kilimanjaro Grannies have been registered and collecting items to be recycled for almost a year now. Think Recycle makes it extremely easy to participate in their program by providing free enrolment, collection and marketing kits, posters and shipping. And if you don’t want to do the bookkeeping, they will send the payment directly to the Stephen Lewis Foundation. All we have to do is get the collection boxes in the community through sponsors such as schools, community centers, clubs and associations, workplaces, malls, neighborhoods, etc.

 

The product list is extensive with items ranging from $0.25 for some inkjet cartridges to $17.38 for a Samsung cell phone.

 

Think Recycle will also sponsor the planting a tree for every 24 qualifying item.

 

This is a unique WIN… WIN…  WIN… situation that so rarely presents itself.

• The African Grandmothers win through the money raised for the Stephen Lewis Foundation.
• The Environment wins by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills (and no it does not get sent to 3^rd world countries).
• Our grandchildren win by making this a better world for them to live and grow up in.

 Give us a call or send us an e-mail and we’ll tell you all about the program and how it is already working to help make a difference in Africa.
