CAAWS-Recycle Program for Critters

Recycle your inkjet and laser cartridges and cell phones to help raise money for The Capital Area Animal Welfare Society. Simply place your empty inkjet and laser cartridges or cell phone in a Ziploc bag and bring them to the CAAWS building any Saturday between 11 a.m. & 3 p.m. For each recyclable ink jet and laser cartridge you bring us, CAAWS will receive up to $4.00 for each ink jet and $1.00 - $12.00 for each laser. Cell phones bring us revenue of $0.50 to $40.00 per phone.

Help us to raise more money by telling your friends and co-workers about the program. They can bring their old cartridges to us or you can even set up a collection box in your office, if permitted.

We can accept undamaged inkjet and laser/toner cartridges for most printers, copiers and fax machines. They must be "virgin" laser/toner cartridges (those that have not been previously refilled), and both "virgin" and "non-virgin" inkjet cartridges. All cartridges must be major brand name cartridges such as HP or Canon. Off brand cartridges from Office Depot or Quill will not be accepted. Currently we can accept "slim-bodied Epson cartridges".

Phones should be undamaged and able to power up. Cracked LCD screens or broken bodies will not be accepted. Please include the phone's original battery and exclude any accessories such as power cables or earpieces.
