PRINTER CARTRIDGES

Thank you to all who pop your used ink cartridges into the recycling box in the foyer. 

We raised £28.45 from the recent box

Since we started collecting we have raised £184.35 for the Church. It might not seem a lot but every little helps!

Just to remind you the Charity only give us payment for
HP, DELL, EPSON, LEXMARK, CANON, SAMSUNG, NEOPOST.

Cartridges they don’t pay out on can still be put in the box and will be recycled.

MOBILE PHONE recycling is no longer available!

Thanks to all who used this facility previously

Many thanks for your donations and please keep them coming

SO, LET'S KEEP RECYCLING FOR OUR CHURCH!

PRINTER CARTRIDGES

We have registered with this recycling charity who will take used Inkjet Cartridges for recycling.

Each Cartridge recycled will raise between 10p and £2 depending on the desirabilty

Only the main printer manufacturers' cartidges will be accepted - eg HP, Dell, Lexmark, Canon etc.

They will also not accept cartridges which have been refilled already.

There will now be a box in the Foyer in which you can put the above items. The box goes away when we have reached 25 cartridges.

The collection is FREE and the money is paid directly into the Church Account.

SO, LET'S GET RECYCLING FOR OUR CHURCH!

The Church of Scotland is committed to:

♦ taking all reasonably practicable steps

to deliver the appropriate level of access, physical, intellectual, and spiritual, for all people to the services provoded by the Church

♦ ensuring compliance with all statutory requirements

relating to disability discrimination

♦ ensuring that the measures taken to improve access

for people with disabilities are compatible with the conservation interests of its building

♦ encouraging congregations and Councils

to take appropriate steps to make all members (including office bearers), adherents, staff and volunteers aware of the importance of not discriminating against people with disabilities and to ensure that these representatives of congregations and councils receive appropriate training

♦ promoting accessibility

by ensuring that information on accessibility is available in an appropriate form (for example, that the times of services are accompanied by an appropriate direction of access, so that no confusion or difficulty is created for those who have physical and/or learning disabilities)

♦ ensuring that arrangements relating to access

for people with disabilities are regularly reviewed

Thank You so much!
