We are excited to announce a new environmental fundraising program that is good for our organization and good for our community.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The ThinkGreen Program is a community based collection program where our organization can collect used inkjet cartridges, laser print cartridges and cell phones and turn them into cash rebates. It’s simple, just return your used inkjet or laser cartridges and cell phones to our organization. We will package and send them to Greentec who in turn will provide funds for each rebated cartridge or cell phone returned.

How can I help?
Return your used print cartridges and cell phones to protect the environment and help spread the word! Your business can help by saving your used cartridges and cell phones and having them returned to our organization.

How does this help the Environment?
Annually, over 300 million print cartridges are consumed in North America and more than 500 million cell phones get retired in North America. That’s millions of pounds of electronic waste that usually ends up in landfill. The ThinkGreen Program is good for the environment as you help divert used cartridges and cell phones from landfills.

Plus, for every 12 qualifying cartridges or cell phones collected, ThinkGreen sponsors the planting of one tree in partnership with Tree Canada Foundation. Your support of the ThinkGreen program will help teach the importance of recycling, the benefits of tree planting and help raise funds for our organization.

For more information please contact a member of the Ingersoll and District Horticultural Society.

Drop off locations are currently available at Ingersoll Public Library – 121 Oxford St - Ingersoll Water and Wine – 111 King St . They can also be brought in to the regular meetings for the Horticultural Society.

Thank you for helping to save our environment
