Recycle Your Ink Cartridges Friends of the LME Library
The Friends of the Lillie M. Evans Library are now collecting empty inkjet cartridges for recycling. We receive up to $4.00 for each cartridge recycled. Cartridges can be deposited in our collection bin at the Lillie M. Evans Library in Princeville.

Simply place your old cartridge in a plastic sandwich bag and deposit it in our collection bin. Most businesses simply throw their empty cartridges in the garbage so check at work to see if they would donate their would be garbage. The acceptable cartridges are listed below. NOTE:  Epson cartridges are now being accepted for recycling but are NOT paid for. No large laser cartridges are accepted with this program and will not fit through the holes on our collection box.

In addition to raising money for Friends of the Lillie M. Evans Library, recycling inkjet cartridges has a positive impact on the environment. Consider the following: Nearly 1 million inkjets are thrown into our landfills everyday. Less than 5% of the cartridges produced are recycled. It takes 1000 years for the plastic to decompose. 

Thanks for assisting our Friends and our Library through this program!  Our next Friends meeting will be Monday, July 9 at 4pm in the library.  Please watch the LME Library website at http://lmelibrary.org  for more details.
