Whitehouse Enterprises, which helps people with disabilities, asks home office workers and businesses to recycle their used printer cartridges at nine sites in and around Bury St. Edmunds.

The innovative scheme, initiated by Whitehouse subsidiary Eco Services Digital, asks people to recycle their spent cartridges at nine sites in and around Bury St Edmunds. This will help acheive two noteworthy goals: It will avoid putting expended printer cartridges in landfill and it will also help raise money for the work of the social enterprise, which is based at Moreton Hall.

Haldo Developments has manufactured the bright yellow bins, which have been placed at stores and in nearby villages. Andrew Akehurst, manager of Eco Services Digital, says: “I am asking everyone in Bury and villages to bring their empty printer cartridges to our easy to spot yellow recycling bins. We will use them to help give over 100 adults with disabilities all kinds of benefits through being employed.”

The scheme was launched this past Wednesday at the local Asda, which will take one of the yellow bins. The other bins are at Waitrose and Sainsbury’s in Bury and at Ixworth Library, Moreton Hall Community Centre, Vinery Road car park, Risby Village Hall and Barrow car park off Britons Crescent.
