    AUSTRALIA’s CARTRIDGES 4 PLANET ARK HAS A NEW REGIONAL MEMBER

    australia’s western downs regional council Downs launches recycling program
    WESTERN Downs Regional Council has launched a new regional community recycling program encouraging residents to recycle their used printer cartridges.The new initiative, which supports the national Cartridges 4 Planet Ark program, is being run to provide residents with opportunities to recycle these potentially hazardous wastes.Now, in its ninth year, the Cartridges 4 Planet Ark program to date, has recycled a staggering 15 million cartridges nationwide and diverted 6900 tonnes of plastics, metals, foam, ink and toner from landfill.

    Environment and Health spokesman Cr George Moore is calling on residents and businesses to take the initiative in ensuring the responsible recycling of their printer cartridges at the end of their useful life.“Council see this as an opportunity to offer residents a way to responsibly dispose of their used cartridges,” he said.“It is in everyone’s interest to protect the environment by keeping as many often discarded household or electronic waste items out of local landfill as possible.”

    Residents can simply drop off their old printer cartridges into specially marked collection boxes located at the Dalby, Chinchilla, Miles and Tara customer service centres.
