Recycle Program to help save the coral reefs

Here is one great ecologically beneficial way the community can make a difference!

Send us your used printer cartridges!

CORL-AS has already partnered with a recycling company and is using the funds received from returned, spent cartridges that the recycler provides towards reef conservation and environmental education and awareness in American Samoa.

The response from the public and government in this recycling project has been so well received that we have decided to start the same program in the mainland US as a way to help raise funds for supplies for Ferdinand Cruz, CORL’s associate in the Philippines, who is conducting net training and provide funding for CORL-USA projects.

You can select one of three options relating to where you would like the funds generated from their cartridge(s) to be applied

1) CORL-PI: all funds will currently go for net training and supplies in the Philippines.
2) CORL-American Samoa
3) CORL-USA

Here's some more information on the technical details of the cartridge recycle program:

1. Shipping is paid for.
2. It is possible to combine donations to send 10 or more cartridges at a time (saves on shipping and energy use).
3. Collection boxes are available for groups or club participation.
4. Pre-addressed packaging with Bar Code will be supplied.
5. A download with the project barcode will be available soon for instant sending/routing to where you wish to apply the donation.

A link to the various types of cartridges suitable for recycling can be found here.

Messages and questions concerning this recycling program, along with supply request should be sent to: recycle@corl.org or vitz@corl.org


More information on CORL can be found at www.corl.org

Thanks again for your support.
