The Friends of Scissett Middle School run an ink cartridge recycling scheme which raises money for the school whilst reducing the amount of plastic going into the country's landfill sites.
Recycool develops the pupils’ enterprise skills as well as teaching them about recycling and the importance of protecting the environment. The programme also allows us to raise funds – the more mobile phones, PDAs and cartridges we collect, the more money Scissett Middle School will receive in exchange for these products.

You can support our Recycool initiative by donating your own empty printer cartridges, mobile phones and PDAs. We have a collection box for these items in our staffroom, so if you normally put empty cartridges in the bin or have an old mobile gathering dust in a drawer please bring them into school and hand them to a member of staff.
The funds we raise can be used to buy resources and equipment for our children. Not only can collecting these items normally considered as rubbish raise funds for the school, it can also help the environment. Handsets and cartridges contain toxic substances which, if they are dumped in landfill, can leak into the surrounding soil and pollute the earth. |

When they are Recycooled they will be passed to recycling experts Redeem Plc who refurbish the products for reuse.
Getting your workplace involved in the programme can generate even more funds for the school as well as benefiting the business. Cartridges collected in your workplace and sent directly to Recycool can still raise funds for our school. Recycool are even able to supply you with a collection box!
