Opportunity to Recycle Printer Cartridges to Support Romanian Students

ROADS International, Inc. announces a partnership with the GreenFund Network to offer laser and inkjet cartridge recycling to homes, schools, and businesses. The partnership will directly benefit college students in Romania.

ROADS International is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization operating in Augusta, Georgia that provides scholarships to enable underprivileged Romanian students to attend Romanian universities. ROADS International supports international development by addressing the need to make educational opportunities available to individuals who are gifted and driven but would not otherwise be able to afford a university tuition. $500 supports a college student in Romania for one year.

Supporting hundreds of charities nationally and internationally, GreenFund Network offers a cost-free venue for recycling thousands of printer cartridges each year. Money raised through the GreenFund Network provides critical funding to the scholarships that are available through ROADS.

Heading up the recycling program is ROADS' Director Katherine Van Loon. She comments, "This is a great way to raise money to support our scholarships. Students and other home users go through over five inkjet cartridges each year. The recycling rate for inkjet cartridges is less than 20%, which represents a tremendous loss of money and resources, not to mention devastating effects on the environment. With this program, we can offer 100% recycling for inkjet and laser cartridges, and bring significant revenues back to support this very worthy cause."

There is no cost to businesses, schools, or individuals to participate, and ROADS receives up to $2.00 for every inkjet cartridge and up to $7.00 for every toner cartridge donated on their behalf. Donated cartridges are sent to the GreenFund Network Recycling Center to be remanufactured and re-sold to businesses at a discount.

For more information, or to order a donation kit for home, school, or business, donors can send an email to info@roadsinternational.org or call (706) 614-9075.
