January 7, 2009: Unfortunately a decision was made recently to place a temporary hold on the collection and sale of used cell phones, handheld PDA’s and empty ink cartridges.
Our collection partner has informed us that the current economic conditions have created a depressed market for these products and many cannot even be sold into the recycling industry.
Since our goal is to assist local Chapters in raising funds for community programs, we have to concentrate on fund raising events that will succeed in these goals. We ask the Chapter Coordinators to store any items that have been collected or will be collected in the future.
We are confident that this program will return in the near future but we want it profitable when we put our efforts into “going green”. NABVETS leadership would like all members to support the SNOLS program to raise much needed funds for our organization.
www.SNOLS.com is an excellent site for you, your family and friends around the country to shop for ink and toner cartridges. Every cartridges purchased will bring a cash donation to your Chapter. More than 45 billion dollars worth of ink and toner cartridges are sold each year. Visit the website and start passing the address to your friends that what to support NABVETS.
Thank you
