USED INK CARTRIDGES - Protecting God's creation
Keep ink cartridges out of landfills! About 350 million used cartridges end up in landfills each year. Instead, bring them to St. Mark's! There's a collection box outside the door on Church St. as well as a larger bin inside the side door (office hours are M-Th 7:00 am to noon; Sundays 9:00-11:45). Sorry--we can't take toner cartridges. The cartridges are sent in each month for recycling and re-use.
