Recycle Cell Phones and Printer Cartridges for Cash
An easy, profitable and on-going fundraising activity is to collect recyclables. A quick Google search for RECYCLING FUNDRAISERS will turn up dozens of companies that will pay cash for old cell phones, jewelry, toner cartridges, ink-jet cartridges and, really, almost any type of electronics.
Make sure you know all the details before signing up with one of these companies:
- Some have minimum quantities they will accept
- Some won’t accept broken or damaged items
- Nearly all pay for shipping, but there may be small print concerning shipping charges.
Once you get the idea about the range of items that may be recycled for cash, look around your own area for companies that may co-sponsor a recycling fundraiser. Since there will be no shipping involved, you may be able to negotiate higher payments and eliminate minimum quantity restrictions.
You may be able to place recycling bins at area businesses or schools so you can collect items year-round. You can also schedule special collection drives in conjunction with festivals or other activities.
If you can find a local recycling company who is willing to work with you, use their expertise to expand or restrict the list of items you are willing to accept.
Recycling fundraisers cost very little to implement and have the potential to provide you with a large return.
