Donate your used printer cartridges and cell phones to support Sexsmith Elementary’s fundraising efforts!

We are excited to announce a new cost- free fundraising program that is not only good for our school but also good for our community and the environment.  The THINKGREEN Fundraising Program is a collection program where our school collects used inkjet cartridges, laser print cartridges, and cell phones and turns them in for cash rebates. It's simple; just donate your used inkjet or laser cartridges, and cell phones to our school. We will package and send them to GREENTEC who in turn will provide funds for each rebated cartridge or cell phone returned.  Help spread the word! Annually, over 300 million print cartridges are consumed in North America, and over 500 million cell phones are to be retired in North America by the end of 2004.  That's millions of pounds of waste that usually ends up in landfill each year.  The THINKGREEN Program is good for the environment as you help divert used cartridges and cell phones that can take up to 1000 years to decay from landfills.  Plus…  For every 12 rebated cartridges or cell phones collected, Greentec sponsors the planting of one tree in partnership with the Tree Canada Foundation.  Your support of the THINKGREEN program will help teach the children the importance of recycling, the benefits of tree planting and help raise funds for our school.  For more information, please go to www.thinkgreen.com.
