Trash Into Cash

The FundingFactory and Scholastic are working together on the “Go Green” sweepstakes initiative in which educators have the opportunity to win $5000 to go greener with eco-friendly programs on their school campuses. To participate, you’ll need to complete a short form with information about your school and its current “green” programs and tell what you’d like to do with the prize money. The deadline is March 1, 2013.

Even if you don’t win the sweepstakes, you can always be a winner by recycling ink jet and toner cartridges and small digital devices through the FundingFactory. Just register, recycle, and earn rewards such as digital cameras, eReaders, printers, interactive whiteboards and more. It’s completely free.

Make Money or Get Tech through FundingFactory

If you are looking for a recycling project that will help your school bring in funds and/or give you points with which you can purchase new technologies, you might consider joining FundingFactory. It is the largest recycling fundraising program in the United States for schools and other non-profit organizations. Electronics such as old/used digital cameras, MP3 Players, inkjet and laser jet cartridges, laptops, iPods, cell phones, and GPS systems can be recycled. After signing up your school for FundingFactory, you’ll receive materials to help you publicize the program.  Sending the items you gather to FundingFactory is free; the company even supplies boxes if needed.
