Recycling Printer Cartridges @ MMS - Again this year, Middlesex is collecting and recycling used printer cartridges of all types and sizes, even the large laser cartridges. When you replace your printer cartridge at home or at work, please bring the used one to the red box at the message center or to Frank Keen in room 266. Our primary motivation is to lessen the impact on our natural resources and landfills. Middlesex also receives money for each recycled cartridge. Last year we received about $1,000 for the cartridges we recycled. The money goes to the Student Activities Fund. fkeen@darienps.org
