It's easy to help Earth Day Indiana. And its free.

Recycle inkjet cartridges

You can recycle your used inkjet printer cartridges at home, school, and work, and help Earth Day Indiana.

Each time you have an inkjet cartridge to recycle, just drop it in a mailing envelope that we provide and put the whole thing in your mailbox. Your cartridge goes to a recycling center, and Earth Day Indiana gets up to $1 for each qualifying cartridge. You can place more than one cartridge in each mailer to save some plastic.

Request your free mailing envelopes by sending an e-mail to earthdayindiana@hotmail.com.

The mailers are free, self-addressed, and the postage is paid already.

The mailers also are available at the Earth Day Indiana Festival information tent. Please pick up a year's supply at each festival and we'll save the cost of postage.

Don't forget to get plenty extra to share with friends and family.

Shop 'til you drop.
