Toner Cartridge Recycle Program

Blackbrook Audubon continues to collect used inkjet and laser toner cartridges to recycle.  The cartridges we need have a manufacturer’s name on them and have not been previously recycled.  Anything that says “compatible with” or “not OEM”  are not acceptable.

Please bring your used cartridges to any Blackbrook program, bird walk or field trip.  We collect these until we have a minimum of 25 to ship to Clover Environmental Solutions We appreciate the opportunity to turn “trash into cash” to benefit Blackbrook’s mission of conservation and education.

Blackbrook's Educational Mission

We are seeking sponsors to enable us to continue providing Audubon Adventures (an educational curriculum that covers ecology and conservation topics important to our mission) to 3rd-5th grade classes in Lake and Geauga Counties. These classroom kits can be used across the curriculum and offer correlations to National Language Arts and Science Standards. The cost for an entire class (32 students) is only $45.95 (including shipping and handling). Blackbrook Audubon relies on Birdathon contributions and Friend’s of Blackbrook donations to help fund expenses and special projects such as this. With the start of a new budget year, the Board finds that we need a little extra help. Please consider sponsoring one or more subscriptions with a donation. You can donate online via paypal or checks can be made out to “Blackbrook Audubon” (designate “Audubon Adventures” on the memo line) and brought to a program/meeting or mailed to: Blackbrook Audubon, Box 1306, Mentor OH 44061-1306.
