St. Stephens participates in Cartridges for Kids

St. Stephens School of Niles is recycling and would like your help. we are recycling empty laser, fax, copier, and inkjet cartridges, used cell phones, laptops, palm pilots and iPods for two reasons. First, we are trying to preserve our environment by keeping these harmful items out of landfills, and secondly, to raise funds for our organization.
The recyclable items that are collected are returned to Cartridges for Kids (CFK). St. Stephens is among more than 12,500 non-profit organizations nationwide that are helping the environment by recycling.
Most people have used cell phones to dispose of and almost everyone uses cartridges, either at home or at work. They come from fax machines, copiers and printers. By donating these used items, you can assist St. Stephens with earning much needed funds.
Please drop off items at St. Stephens School. There will be a drop off box placed in the glass doors facing the parking lot. For any questions regarding this program, please contact Dawn Marie Dragos at 330-652-3668.
