Ecophones Has Arrived at FBCS!
The Ecophones project is very simple and asks very little of anyone. If you have any type of cell phone laying around your house or you have access to empty ink jet printer cartridges, all we are asking is that you donate those to our school and spread the word to family and friends that our school is collecting these items!
There are a few things to remember:
1. Every type of cell phone can be donated.
2. ONLY INK JET PRINTER CATRIDGES are acceptable. These are smaller cartridges that fit in the palm of your hand.
3. NO toner or laser cartridges, please!
4. Ink jet cartridges CANNOT be refilled, reconditioned, or damaged.
5. Ecophones WILL NOT ACCEPT cell phone accessories such as cases, charges, etc. Please, do not put these in the collection bins.
There is a GREY collection bin in the school lobby. Please feel free to drop off your cell phones and cartridges in this bin at anytime.
We want to spread the word, so please tell your family and friends. If your church or business would be willing to place a bin in their facility, we will gladly provide a collection bin and information. Please call the school office, if we can assist in this way. We are allowed to ask cell phone businesses if they would allow us to have a collection bin at their location! If you do business with a certain location, please ask if they would consider helping us!
This will be an ongoing project so as you change from one phone to another or have empty ink jet printer cartridges, please remember to donate them to FBCS!
Thank you for your support. If you should have any questions, please, feel free to call the school office!
