Office Depot Launches Recycling Programs to Help Schools

Office Depot has launched "Recycling Rules," an ink, toner and small electronics recycling program targeted to the education market. Office Depot says that the free program will reward teachers with a gift card to purchase the school supplies they need for their classrooms while highlighting the importance of recycling.

Interested parties can sign up their classrooms by visiting www.myschoolrecycles.com. After signing up for the program, Office Depot will supply the classroom with recycling boxes containing information about the program and recycling curriculum suggestions. The boxes can be filled with empty ink and toner cartridges (any brand) and/or small electronics such as cell phones and rechargeable batteries. Once the boxes are filled, they can be shipped back to Office Depot at no cost.

Classrooms will be rewarded (based on the value of their recyclables) with Office Depot gift cards.
