Turn trash into cash
Each year, over 60 million inkjet printer cartridges are thrown away and over 15 million mobile phones are left unwanted in drawers and cupboards - this represents millions of pounds of possible funds for Guide Dogs. Just 10 donated inkjet cartridges could pay for a guide dog for a day and 10,000 mobile phones would pay for a guide dog for life!
And it is not just high-tech trash that can be turned into cash – we have recently launched a new recycling scheme called Treasure Hunt. We are asking you to search through your drawers and cupboards at home and see if you can make a donation of any of the following items - Jewellery, watches, keys, mobile phones, old and foreign coins or bank notes.
Finally, Guide Dogs will be phasing out stamp recycling over 2007. Although stamps recycling has enabled us to raise significant funds over the years, unfortunately it is no longer cost effective. Please visit our stamp page for further information.
Get greener for Guide Dogs and the environment - reduce the need for more landfill sites, avoid the burning of rubbish, stop the draining of natural resources and raise money for the life-changing guide dog service.
