How the Program Works

Corporate Express is proud to make a difference in our communities. That’s why we are partnering with Special Olympics USA to help an extraordinary group of athletes, and protect our environment at the same time. You can make a difference, too, by getting involved with our easy-to-use recycling program. When you recycle your used inkjet cartridges, we’ll donate up to $2.00 to Special Olympics for every eligible cartridge we receive.

Your office gets a little cleaner, the planet gets a little greener, and some very deserving athletes get a chance to find out just how far they can go.

How the Program Works

By recycling your empty inkjet cartridges, you can help the environment and support your state’s Special Olympics program at the same time. There are two ways to send your cartridges to the recycling center:

BAGS

Simply place your used cartridge in the postage-paid, self mailer bag that automatically comes with most new cartridges, and drop it in the mail. For each cartridge we receive in recyclable condition, we’ll donate at least 50 percent of the proceeds, up to $1.25, to Special Olympics. (Tip: placing your old cartridge in the manufacturer’s packaging will protect the cartridge during shipping!)

BINS

If you use a large volume of inkjet cartridges, you can collect your entire office’s cartridges in a special bin provided by Corporate Express, and Special Olympics will receive at least 50 percent of the proceeds, up to $2.00, for each cartridge collected that way. (Tip: Collecting cartridges in bulk reduces costs and leads to more money for Special Olympics!)

Recycling supplies are provided at no cost. All inkjet cartridges except Epson brand are included in the program. Cartridges must be received in recyclable condition to qualify.

Why We’re Doing It

Special Olympics is a great organization that provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with mental retardation. Special Olympics gives these athletes continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in the sharing of gifts, skill, and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. Special Olympics touches the lives of one in every six families in America, through its athletes or indirectly through coaches, donors and volunteers. Be sure to visit the Special Olympics web site to find out how you can get involved.
