| Band Recycle Program |
The Ardrey Kell Band Program has partnered up with Ink Solution & Postal, which is located at the Streets of Toringdon Shopping Center, in a "CASH FOR TRASH" program. This program is to help with the recycling of used toner and ink cartridges from the AK community and raise much needed money for the AK Band program. For every cartridge turned in to the brightly colored recycle container located between the AK front office and the mall, the AK Band receives a $1.50 donation from Ink Solution & Postal. Besides working with our band and area businesses on this recycling effort, Ink Solution & Postal refills most used printer/copier cartridges (both black and color) and sells them at almost half the cost of brand new. Thank you ahead of time for your support of this recycling program and the AK Band. |
