Help us
raise funds while helping the environment. Recycling empty printer
cartridges and old cell phones eliminates non-biodegradable plastics
and metals from entering our landfills. BARC has printer cartridge and
used cell phone donation boxes available for you to place at your
employer or any business. Please help by displaying a box at your
workplace.
