Ink Cartridge Donations Aid Animal Shelter
WESTAMPTON – More than 650 animals have been adopted so far this year at the Burlington County Animal Shelter. This success is due in part to used ink and toner cartridges donated by businesses and residents.
Cartridges help pay for materials that advertise events and adoption promotions sponsored by the Friends of the Burlington County Animal Shelter, an all-volunteer, nonprofit group dedicated to helping the animals at the shelter find permanent homes.
“We recycle the ink cartridges and get rebates,” said Sharon Stevenson, the group’s treasurer. “Then we use the rebates to pay for adoption posters, event fliers, signs and all printing materials. All the paper materials we needed for these events were free because of the toner and cartridge recycling program.”
The group accepts ink and toner cartridges of any size, new or used. People can drop off cartridges labeled “FOBCAS” at the Burlington County Animal Shelter, 35 Academy Drive, Westampton. The shelter is open noon to 4 p.m. every day except Thursday, when it’s open from noon to 7 p.m. After hours donations can be left at the shelter’s front door.
