HI

just wondered if those of you who already help Arthritis Care by recycling your printer cartridges through www.eachonecounts.co.uk/arthritiscare
know that you can also recycle remanufactured ink cartridges as long as the original manufacturer's cartridge number is on the list on the recycling site.

I thought I'd let people know as I emailed them to ask the question.

It's a great way to raise funds (they get up to a pound per cartridge inc Gift aid) without costing us a penny more

this is the link to info about it on the AC site

hope that info is useful

    Thanks Wonky, didn't know about this easy way of raising funds for AC.

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    I didn't know either. I'll remember this when I get a printer. Thank you for the information. DD

    Hi Wonky - thanks for this. Have been recycling mine for British Heart Foundation but have now added the AC link to my favorites so I can find out how to recycle for AC too.

    Hi again - good news about the phones too. I have a number in the desk drawer and was hoping to find a good home. So thanks again!
