Our Programs
Ink and Toner Cartriges(Cartridge World)
Cartridge World collects inkjet and toner cartridges from USF and the university uses it as a fundraiser for the recycling program on campus. USF accepts all types of cartridges. Bins are located in St. Albert's Hall (near the stairs).
Here is how it works:
- Drop off your LaserJet cartridges in any of the two large plastic tubs located under the stairway in St. Albert's Hall - easy...
- Drop off your Inkjet cartridges in the only cardboard box located in the north corner of the stairway in St. Albert's Hall - Please use available plastic bags for these cartridges.
To learn more about Cartridge World, go to www.cartridgeworldusa.com. Lots of information about recycling cartridges and the benefits is available, as well as the location of stores and fundraising opportunities.
Cell Phones (Real EZ Fundraiser)
We are officially recycling cell phones with Real Ez Fundraiser. Recycling bins are located at Marian Hall Main Desk and Tower Hall Main Desk. These bins are for all old and discarded cell phones from students, faculty, and staff. The University will receive a refund on all phones.
USF Recycling Bins
