Recycling for Money and Merchandise

Many people want to help the environment by recycling. In some states you can even get money to return glass and plastic bottles as well as the usual aluminum that all states recycle. But there are places you can get cash or merchandise for your ink jet cartridges and cell phones. The Funding Factory is a recycling program that will recycle ink cartridges and cell phones and give your group points toward cash or merchandise.

Here's how it works, you sign up with Funding Factory and receive a kit including some signs and boxes. When the box is full you ship it off in their preaddressed, prepaid box using United Parcel Service to their location and get points. On their website in your account they have books, electronics and other merchandise you can get for those points or just take the cash those points are worth and use it for whatever you want.

There are some things you have to understand about this and know before you get into it, but the main thing about it, this is no scam or rip off. My wife works at a fairly large day care and the day care has signed up for this. Just the other day we ordered a Canon Power Shot Camera and rechargeable batteries for it. The battery charger for the batteries was out of stock but we will get the money that those points were not spent on for the charger and just go to Walmart and buy one. The points for this are not impossible to get and the more effort a group or business puts into it the more points you earn. It's pretty easy to get the ink and laser printer cartridges and the cell phones come in pretty steady once people realize you're doing this and the group or organization is getting things out of it as well as recycling for the environmental issues.
