The Recycling Factory is to generate funds for learning disability charity Mencap
by recycling inkjet and toner cartridges and mobile phones.

Mencap will receive a donation for each of these items sent in by supporters provided
they can be successfully recycled. There is no cost to Mencap to operate the scheme.
The Recycling Factory supplies relevant materials such as freepost envelopes and
collection boxes completely free of charge.

The company collect and recycle more than 700,000 inkjet cartridges, toner cartridges
and mobile phones each month at their site in Boston, Lincolnshire. So far it has
raised more than £2 million for its [charity partners](http://www.therecyclingfactory.com/our-partners)
