The Media Center at H. H. Dow has joined the Cartridge World Recycling Program! We will receive $1.00 - $4.00 for each ink cartridge we collect from students, parents, community members, and businesses alike. Best of all, this program will help our environment, keeping all those discarded ink cartridges out of the landfills.

Simply drop off your empty inkjet and / or laserjet cartridges at the school or send them with a student. There are two conveniently located drop-off boxes: in front of the Main Office and in the Media Center. The more cartridges we collect the more money we receive for much needed supplies and paperbacks. What an easy way to raise funds!

Cartridge World, located at 1112 S. Saginaw, refills and remanufactures all inkjet and laserjet cartridges right at their store – if you would prefer to have your cartridge remanufactured at 50% cost savings for your own personal use, you can take your cartridge in, tell them you are supporting H. H. Dow High’s recycling program, and they will credit us with your business! So . . . “THINK --- RECYCLE YOUR INK!”
