Instead of throwing away those old ink cartridges, laser cartridges, and cell phones, donate them to the DCA Elementary to be recycled for cash. We have used previous donations to help purchase a new playground system and swings and new computers for the 1st-6th grade classrooms. DCA uses a recycling company, Funding Factory, that helps us earn money and help the environment, too.
    Since almost everyone has a computer, and probably a printer, you can help out. Even businesses with computers have been willing to donate in the past to help DCA.  Asking friends, neighbors, co-workers, and employers to save old ink cartridges, laser cartridges, and cell phones helps both the environment and DCA. 
    Cartridges and cell phones can be dropped off at the school office or given to any elementary student or teacher.
