New Fund Raising Idea...Get Green for Being Green

 

Burnt out on bake sales? Still wet from all those car washes? Well, recycling might be the team fundraiser for you! Ecophones is a company that will pay you for your used ink jet cartridges and old cell phones and batteries. Collect 35 items to be recycled and send them in and Ecophones will send you a check. They even provide prepaid postage mailers for you to mail them! Alls you need is a box! For complete details, downloadable posters and flyers, visit www.ecophones.com.
