Recycling Project for Kids – - Making Recycling Boxes to Collect Ink and Toner Cartridges

Recycling projects make great classroom projects for school children.  They teach children ways they can protect the environment by recycling many of the items we use in our daily lives and they learn how a group may make a difference by working together on a charitable cause.  Even better, the project is fun!  Here is one way to do this project.

Each child can bring in an empty box or other container from home – - or ask for one from a local grocery store or other business.  The Recycling Labels can be printed directly from our website (click here for a pdf of our label), then the children can paste the label onto their own boxes and decorate it any way they would like.  The children can then drop the boxes off at a business or ask a parent or relative to take the box to their place of business.  The boxes can even be used in their own school’s administrative offices!
