<p>Which cartridges qualify? Approximately 80% qualify for this program. To find out if your home or business cartridges qualify, visit <a title="Qualifying Cartridges" href="http://www.fundingfactory.com/programs/recycling/qualifying_items.aspx?type=cartridge#las" target="_blank">this link</a>.  If it&#8217;s on the list, send it to school with your child.</p>
<p><strong>Pizza Contest</strong></p>
<p>Mr. Somers tracks all cartridge and cell phone donations by class.  At the end of the year, the top three classes will get a pizza party for their class.</p>
<p><strong>Other hints:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Be sure to bring the cartridge in it&#8217;s box, including endcaps.  This helps us to prevent damage when shipping it to Funding Factory so that these cartridges will count for the program.</li>
<li>Previously recycled or &#8220;remanufactured&#8221; cartridges do not count for this program.</li>
<li>We accept <strong>cell phones</strong>, too!  Check the <a title="Cell Phone Qualifying List" href="http://www.fundingfactory.com/programs/recycling/qualifying_items.aspx?type=cell#cel" target="_blank">qualifying list</a> if you are donating a cell phone.</li>
</ul>
<p>Thanks for supporting the OLM School Technology Program.</p>
