Mobile Phone and Printer Cartridge Recycling

The Scout Group is taking part in the Recycling Appeal to bring Scout Groups throughout the UK The Scouts Recycling Appeal, an innovative recycling programme. 

The program leads to the Scout Community badge, which is achieved through an improved understanding of the community.  Another benefit is that Scout Groups can raise funds through the program.  All we have to do is collect used printer cartridges and old mobile phones, things that many homes and offices throw in the bin.

Millions of cartridges were thrown away last year alone - perhaps you discarded some yourself. The 14th Midlothian Bonnyrigg Scout Group could benefit enormously if these cartridges, plus unwanted mobiles, came our way instead. The environment would benefit too, because dumped materials cause landfill pollution, and recycling saves raw materials and energy.

The Scouts Recycling Appeal programme will raise awareness in young people that recycling makes money and sense.  Your support will provide greatly needed resources for our groups.  To offer help and assistance to our group please email info@bonnyriggscouts.org.uk.

Please bring used Printer Cartridges and old mobile phones to the Scout Hall on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evening during term time.

Many thanks.
