Scheme in detail...

Collect@Work is a scheme run alongside the Collect4School and Collect4Charity schemes where you can collect used printer cartridges and old mobile phones for good causes at work by having a collection box in the workplace.

Collect@Work in detail…
You collect empty printer cartridges and mobile phones by getting work colleagues interested in the Collect@Work scheme and then put the items in collection boxes in your workplace. We will collect them from you free of charge for recycling. If you are collecting for a school and only collect small quantities of items you may of course choose the 'green option' and take them into school yourself, so that we do not unnecessarily waste resources and pollute the environment in sending someone to collect. We will pay your chosen school or charity for items that we can recycle!

The Collect@Work scheme is completely FREE and simple. There is no charge for anything that we give you as part of our scheme; as we factor in our costs to the prices that we pay your chosen cause for recyclable items. So, it is free to join, all resources are provided free of charge and collection of your goods is free too. We even operate a freephone support number.

When you join the Collect@Work scheme (you can sign up online or contact us) you can request how many collection boxes (you may of course choose the 'green option' and re-use a suitable box or container you already have) you need.

Collect@Work Coordinators will be given a username and a password so that you can visit our web site at any time to download (and then print and photocopy if you wish) posters and other resources to help you make the most of the Collect@Work scheme. Our web site will give suggestions and advice.

When your collection boxes are full you will need to contact us so that we can arrange a collection. Straightforward packaging guidelines are given inside the log in section. Collection will usually be within one or two days of your request.

When the items arrive at our collection depot they will be sorted and counted. Inside the log in section the Collect@Work Coordinator will be able to view how much the items are worth. We aim to pay your nominated school or charity by cheque or BACS within a month of every collection valued at £10 or over. Please be patient however, as we do get some very busy periods! We will also contact you to let you know how much you and your colleagues are contributing to your chosen cause.

The Collect@Work and Collect4 recycling schemes are operated by Johnson Recycling Ltd. (a licensed broker and carrier of waste). We believe that protecting the environment through sustainable development is important and our schemes are an ideal way to get the whole community involved with saving our planet whilst fundraising for valuable causes.
