Bring us your old electronics

School districts and nonprofit organizations across the county have been dealing with huge budget cuts, but we’ve found a way to supplement our finances to get the cash we need.

Natchez-JSU Scholarship Committee is involved in the FundingFactory Recycling Program.

This fundraiser is free and simple because there’s nothing to sell, no paperwork to fill out and no deadline.

The program runs year-round, accumulating constant income for our efforts. But we won’t get very far without your support.

How can you help?

Instead of throwing away empty printer cartridges, cell phones, small electronics, and laptops just drop them in the collection box in the lobby of Judge George W. Armstrong Library on South Commerce Street.

We will take it from there.

We will recycle the cartridges, cell phones, small electronics, and laptops through the FundingFactory to earn cash.

Last year alone, more than 300 million cartridges were thrown away, while 30,000,000 cell phones were tossed or replaced.

We’re alleviating the volume of waste that goes into landfills, while collecting cash we need to keep our scholarship program running smoothly.

Your help is vital to our fundraising success.

If you have any questions about this great opportunity, please feel free to call me at 601-442-5648 or e-mail me at bedr23@yahoo.com.

Thank you for your support!
