Earning Non-Profit Money Via Toner Recycling

Going beyond the easy fundraisers can be hard, but it’s important to do if you want to stand out from the crowd of typical fundraisers out there. Attempting fundraisers like a toner recycling drive might seem a little out there, but it’s a great way to make an impression. You can help an organization get rid of something they might throw away, and at the same time help businesses keep more junk out of the landfills and will be helping them reuse an important business product.

These toner recycling drives can work in a variety of ways. Finding a company sponsor that will buy those empty cartridges is any easy way to run the drive. There are plenty of companies out there that recycle cartridges. Some toner companies might be willing to help you organize the fundraiser, giving you a better rate than they give companies because they know it’s going to a non-profit organization.

It shouldnÕt be difficult to organize the toner recycling drive, but coming up with businesses that can donate might be hard. Talk to all the members of your non-profit to brainstorm. Talk to parents, spouses, relatives, and friends to see if their businesses might be willing to donate old cartridges. Consider talking to a large business in your area. They should already have a deal with a cartridge recycling program, but could be willing to forego cartridges for a good cause.

You could also consider heading door-to-door to businesses asking if they have cartridges to donate. You could head to a local business park and speak with the organizations there. Print up some information about your drive and organization and hand them out. You might even find a company that doesnÕt recycle their cartridges at all, meaning youÕll be helping the environment and earning cash for your non-profit at the same time.
