Your trash is worth cash

recycool_468x60.gif
Receiving the latest mobile phone, iPod, digital camera or hand held game console is great but what about the ones that get left behind?

In January we have been given the opportunity to recycle these and raise even more money for our school! As well as printer cartridges and mobile phones we will be able to recycle iPods, digital cameras, sat navs and hand held game consoles.

So please get everyone to hold on to the gadgets that will be replaced this Christmas, and send them into school in January. Thank you for remembering us.
